Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pastries
After the dough has risen, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes (triangles, circles, etc.). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
