1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (40 grams fresh yeast)

50 grams (~1/2 cup) powdered sugar

zest from 1/2 lemon

3 eggs

In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over 1/2 cup of the lukewarm milk. Stir to combine. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.

In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a dough blade or a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Mix in the yeast with milk and eggs. Slowly add remaining milk, then butter until a soft dough forms. Transfer to a large bowl, cover, and let rest until doubled, about an hour.
