Heat 200 ml of milk in the microwave for 1 minute until warm.

Add 10 grams of dry yeast to the warm milk and stir to dissolve.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of salt, 6 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 eggs to the milk mixture and mix well.

Gradually add 500 grams of all-purpose flour, mixing until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and not sticky.

Divide the dough into two equal parts, approximately 500 grams each, and shape them into balls.

Place the dough balls in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let them rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, roll out the dough and shape it again before placing it in a baking dish.

Let the shaped dough rise for another 40 minutes in a warm place, like an off oven.

Prepare the topping by mixing 7 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar until crumbly.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Sprinkle the topping generously over the risen dough in the baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
