Preparation and Baking
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and warm the milk until lukewarm. Add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients along with the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.

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 kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make the Filling
