Steps
- 1In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ cup of warm water. Allow the mixture to rest until it becomes foamy, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, salt, and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Beat the mixture on medium-low speed for about 1 minute until well combined. Increase the speed to medium and slowly add in 2⅓ cups of flour. Mix everything together until the dough becomes thick, which should take around 3 minutes. Next, remove the paddle attachment from the mixer, scrape down any mixture stuck to the sides back into the bottom of the bowl, and switch to using a dough hook.
