They’re glorious!!! What type of bread, and what’s on the surface – egg wash?

Here’s the recipe in case anyone wants it! Apologies beforehand for how messy this recipe is… I just kinda go for it when baking, so let me know if I need to clarify any steps!!
Mix in a large bowl and let bloom for a couple of mins: 1 tsp yeast 1/8 cups of warm water
In the meantime, mix: 1/2 cup hot milk 1/8 cup white sugar – 25g 1/8 cup butter – 28g 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 water (cool)
Once the previous mixture has cooled down, add 1.5 eggs (the recipe uses 2 eggs total, 1.5 in the dough and the last half for egg wash. To make the division easier, I usually just save the yolk for the egg wash)
Add the above mixture into the large bowl with the water + yeast.
Add 2.75ish cups of flour (I mix in two heaping cups first, then kinda just sprinkle in some more until the dough is kneaded into a smooth soft dough ball)
Cover and let it rise!! Depending on the temp, it might take a couple of hours or a day. Once it doubles in size, I’ll knead it back down and let it rise again but idk if that’s good for the bread or not… just so whatever your heart tells you I guess haha.
Once you’re satisfied with how much it’s proofed, knead it out again, cut into equal pieces, roll into strands, and start braiding! I let the braids sit for an hour covered with a damp paper towel or cloth and then egg wash them afterwards. I mix in about a tbsp of granulated sugar to the leftover yolk and then brush it over the dough. Afterwards, I’ll sprinkle on top some more sugar and sesame seeds!
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 mins or until a beautiful golden colour has developed and your house is smelling like bread!!!
