Cooking method according to shahiya.com

1- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and egg together and then add in the salt, lemon zest and vanilla. Knead with your hands until you form a dough.

2- Add in the milk, melted butter, yeast and 1 cup of warm water. Knead again until the dough is smooth.

3- Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and place a piece of kitchen cloth on top. Leave in a warm place (sun or next to heater) for at least 2 hours; the more time it is left, the better.
