Step 1

Add the water, eggs, egg yolks, grated lemon zest, grated orange peel and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Mix everything well with a whisk or wooden spoon.

Add the flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer.

Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones, and knead the mixture with the dough hook on low speed until a homogeneous preparation has formed. You can also do this by hand, but it could take longer.

Add the butter in pieces, and knead for another 5 minutes. It's normal for the dough to be very soft and sticky.
