Gather all ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, instant yeast, warm milk, unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar; allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

In another bowl, beat together eggs, melted butter, and vanilla; blend in the frothy yeast mixture.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms; knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 portions, roll into strips, and coil into spirals; place in greased molds.

Let the shaped dough rise for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.

Cool for 10 minutes in molds, then transfer to a rack.

Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cheese and sugar, and enjoy!
