Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients such as all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, and milk.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of warmed milk, 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar (3/4 cup), and salt. Create a well in the center.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with softened butter and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the yeast mixture and wet egg mixture into the well of the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough onto a floured countertop and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise for about 1 hour.
- Gently punch the risen dough down, divide into 12 pieces, and roll into circular shapes.
- Fold each round in half and roll it into a spiral shape, placing in greased molds.
- Cover molds with a towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool the bread in molds for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While warm, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cheese, and dust with sugar.
