1

In a large bowl, add 500 grams of flour and make a well in the center.

2

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey into the well.

3

Pour in 200 milliliters of warm milk.

4

Add 20 grams of fresh yeast and mix well until dissolved, taking some flour from the edges.

5

Cover the mixture and let it ferment for 10-15 minutes until bubbly.

6

Once fermented, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a bit of orange zest.

7

Add the remaining milk, 100 grams of sugar, and 1 beaten egg to the mixture.

8

Incorporate 50 grams of softened butter and a pinch of salt into the mixture.

9

Knead the dough until smooth and not too sticky, adjusting with flour if necessary.

10

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a floured bowl, covering it with a plastic bag to prevent drying.

11

Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes.

12

After 30 minutes, check the dough; it should have risen nicely.

13

Flour your hands and the surface, then roll out the dough.

14

Brush a thin layer of softened butter on the rolled-out dough using a flexible spatula.

15

Sprinkle a tablespoon of cornstarch over the buttered dough.

16

Fold the dough into small pleats instead of rolling it up tightly to avoid tension.

17

Flatten the folded dough slightly and wrap it tightly to prevent drying.

18

Refrigerate the dough to rest.
