Step 1
1. Warm the egg in warm water for 5 minutes. Soften the butter and cut it into pieces. Dissolve the yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of flour, 2/3 cup sugar, salt, yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and beat with a mixer at low speed for 1 minute. Add the butter (reserve 2 tablespoons for greasing the pan) in several additions, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating at medium speed until the dough becomes smooth, about 5 minutes. The dough will be very sticky. Sprinkle the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1½–2 hours.
