I prepare the dough
First I put the flour, the yeast and the sugar in a bowl.
I add the eggs and begin to mix.
I pour in the milk little by little and continue to knead.
I work the dough for about 10-15 minutes, until I obtain an elastic dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
I add the butter and flavorings
At this point I add the butter little by little and continue kneading until it is completely incorporated.

Shaping
After rising I take the dough back and deflate it slightly.

I place it in a buttered pan.
Second rise
I cover it and let it rise until it almost reaches the rim of the pan.
Baking
Bake in the oven at 356°F for about 1 hour.
If it darkens too much during baking, cover it with aluminum foil.
