Rich dough for brioche, buns etc

Over the years we've followed Dan Lepard and Andrew Whiteley religiously for sourdough, but my favourite results come from this blog: https://www.theperfectloaf.com   In particular, his guide for starter has transformed how I make sourdough. and his recipes - especially pizza and brioche dough are spectacular. But I find his recipes incredibly hard to follow - literally, the way they are written requires scrolling back and forth.  So, am going to write this recipe (and maybe others) out in a more usable form.

The original is here. Check it out for lush reading and pictures.
