  • In a large bowl or cup with a pouring lip, add yeast and ¼ cup sugar to warm water and stir to dissolve. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Let the yeast bloom for 5 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer, pour the yeast mixture into the mixer bowl. Using the whisk attachment, gradually add the flour mixture until a shaggy dough is formed. Switch to the dough hook and knead for 5 - 7 minutes until a smooth ball is formed. Dough should be slightly sticky and elastic. Put the dough into a oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double in size; about 1 ½ hours. Punch down, cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured board. Divide into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, pinch or cut small pieces about the size of a lime. With floured hands, roll into balls. Place on parchment paper dusted with flour. Repeat with the rest of the dough. You should get about 24 balls.
