  1. In a bowl mix 600 gr flour (i used a type 1 flour , a less refined flour but it can be used a 00 wheat flour) with 25 gr fresh yeast and  100 gr granulated sugar.
  2. Pour over 250 ml warm milk( warm not hot because if you pour it hot it will deactivate your yeast 🙂
  3. Then incorporate 1 egg and a egg yolk ,1 tbs honey , 120 gr melted butter into the dough.
  4. At last , one lemon peel, vanilla flavor and 10 gr salt.
  5. Knead the dough for 5-10 min at least if it is a little bit sticky help yourself by adding some oil into your hands or just simple water..
