Directions
- Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of lukewarm milk with a teaspoon of sugar, and let it activate. ≈ 4 min
- Whisk the eggs and yolks with the sugar. Add them to the sifted flour with the baking powder, the remaining milk, salt, zest, vanilla sugar, and melted butter, and knead for a long time. ≈ 10 min
- Let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
- While you’re doing that, prepare the streusel: mix the flour, sugar, and vanilla sugar, add the cold butter in small pieces, and rub with your fingers until it forms a crumbly mixture. Keep it refrigerated.
- Grease the pans and spread the risen dough evenly over them using your fingers, which have been lightly coated with butter.
- Let it rise for a few more minutes, brush with sweetened milk, and cover with streusel.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 45 to 50 minutes.
