– warm milk – dry yeast – sugar – butter – eggs - flour
Place the warm milk in a bowl and add the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar, mix well and leave for a few minutes.
Put the remaining sugar in a large bowl and beat together with the butter and vanilla extract, using a hand mixer, until light and creamy.
Add lemon and orange zest and mix.
Add the eggs a little at a time until all are well incorporated.
Place the flour in a large bowl and mix with a pinch of salt and make a well.
Add the yeast mixture then the butter and egg mixture, folding in with a large spoon to make a soft dough.
Knead for 5 mins in the bowl until the mixture starts to come together and is pretty sticky.
Put the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a further 10 mins, until everything has come together and you get a soft, stretchy dough. Add a light sprinkling of flour to the surface and your hands as you go to stop the mixture sticking.
