How to adapt a recipe for using a sponge

Hi!

I've been reading a lot of posts here and learning about bread baking. I'm new to this and I learn with every post. :) Love this site!!

I'd like to adapt a recipe my grandmother used to make. I'd like to use a sponge to increase fermentation time and develop flavor. It's a brioche-like bread and it uses A LOT of yeast! (Sorry it's in cups, it's the original recipe).

Recipe:

30 g instant yeast

1/4 cup of water

6 cups flour

5 eggs

1 can of condensed milk (the one that has sugar)

5 yolks

250 g butter
