Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup milk (I used 2%)

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla

Directions

• Melt the butter and milk together in the microwave, cool to lukewarm
• Pour the mixture into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir in the yeast and 1 cup of the flour, cover, and allow to rise for 15 minutes
• Beat in the eggs. Add the salt, sugar, and vanilla, beat well.
• Switch to the dough hook. Add the remaining flour, and knead well, until soft, smooth, and shiny. (about 5-7 minutes on medium-high speed)
• Cover and let rise for 2-4 hours, until it doubles in size.
• Knead again, shape the dough, and place in a bread pan that has been greased well.
• Cover, rise again until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 325°
• To make the glaze, whisk together the sugar and egg
• Brush the glaze on top of the risen dough, and bake for 45-50 minutes, until its a deep golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into it. Enjoy!
