Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, then mix with a dough hook on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon and knead by hand) for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
