Instructions
Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with salted butter. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them into the pan and along the sides so they adhere to the butter.
Put the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast and let proof for 5 minutes.
Add the melted butter, sugar, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of the flour. Beat with the paddle attachment for 2 minutes until smooth.
Add the remaining 2 cups flour and beat for 1 minute more. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour.
Stir down the batter and pour into the prepared pan. Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled and close to the top of the pan.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature is just over 200°F.
Cool briefly in the pan, then invert onto a rack and let cool completely.
