Ingredients
Scale

- ½ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- 1 packet instant yeast
- ⅓ cup melted butter (cooled)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for glaze)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- In another bowl, whisk warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract; then add to dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour or until doubled.
