- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Add in eggs, milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth and knead for 8-10 minutes.
- Let It Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
