Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes.

Fold the yeast mixture into the batter until well incorporated.

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow it to rise.

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid.

Cook until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes, depending on your iron.

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with remaining batter.

Serve warm topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
