Ingredients

• 250 ml Whole milk
• 10 g Active dry yeast
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 500 g All-purpose flour
• 5 g Salt
• 100 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 10 ml Vegetable oil
• 5 g Optional: Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk to about 40°C (105°F) — it should be lukewarm but not hot to the touch. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the milk and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and optional lemon zest until well-combined.

Step 3

Stir the yeast mixture into the egg mixture until fully mixed.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough starts coming together but is still slightly sticky.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually incorporate the softened butter into the dough, kneading well to ensure it is fully absorbed. Continue kneading until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly tacky to the touch.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large mixing bowl with vegetable oil. Form the dough into a ball, place it in the bowl, and turn it to coat with oil.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. At this stage, the dough can be shaped as desired for bread, buns, or pastries.

Step 10

Follow specific baking instructions for your chosen recipe, generally baking at 180°C (350°F) for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the baked goods.
