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.
