Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large egg yolks
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the filling

1 ½ cups fruit preserves or canned pie filling (apricot, plum, cherry, or blueberry)

For brushing

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1
Combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.
2
Add the remaining sugar, flour, salt, softened butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until the ingredients come together, about 2 minutes, then increase to medium speed and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
