Method

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Allow the yeast mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough with a sturdy wooden spoon and then knead it on a lightly floured surface.

  2. Whisk in the egg yolks, whole egg, milk, orange zest, orange juice, brandy (if using), salt, vanilla, 2 cups of flour, and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Mix on low speed with the dough hook attachment until everything is combined, which should take about 2 minutes.

  3. Add the 6 tablespoons of butter, one piece at a time, ensuring that each piece is well mixed before adding the next one.

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour (you may not need all of it), mixing until mostly combined between additions. The dough should be soft, smooth, and shiny, and it will begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl and climb up the dough hook.

  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until it is no longer sticky.

  5. Transfer the dough to a buttered bowl,
