Ingredients

8 servings

For the dough

¼ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
½ cup whole milk, warmed to about 100°f (38°c)
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil), for brushing

For the glaze

1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
3–4 tbsp whole milk

sprinkles, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl) and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
2
Add the warmed milk, sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, then mix with the dough hook on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon, then knead by hand) for 5–6 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
