  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, then remove.
  • In a large bowl, mix the milk, yeast, and 1/2 cup of flour. Let the yeast act for 20 minutes.
  • Beating in an electric mixer, add to the mixture the eggs, remaining flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and half of both zests.
  • Once a dough has formed, incorporate the butter and place the dough on a plate. Let it rise for 20 minutes.
