Preparation

Step 1

1. Gently heat the milk to lukewarm temperature. Pour milk into a bowl and add yeast while gently stirring the milk. Allow several minutes for the yeast to dissolve.

2. Combine flour, eggs, brown sugar, and salt in bowl.

3. Using your mixer's dough hook or by hand kneading, mix the ingredients from step 1 and 2 to form the dough.

4. Bring butter to room temperature and add to dough. The dough should now have a very sticky texture.

5. Cover the dough in a bowl with saran wrap and let it rest for at least 2 to 3 hours. This will allow the dough's volume to double.

6. Put the mixture in the fridge for an hour before proceeding to the next step.

7. Stir the dough down, press several layers of plastic wrap over dough in bowl and refrigerate overnight.

8. Add Waffle Pantry Belgian pearl sugar to the dough.

9. Divide the dough into 10 roughly palm-sized balls and allow them to rest, loosely covered in plastic wrap for an hour to 2 hours to allow balls to rise.

10. Pre-heat waffle iron and add each individual dough ball to the machine once it has reached cooking temperature. Monitor for doneness and preferred golden color.

11. Voila! Your waffles are ready! The optimal time to serve your waffles is straight from the waffle iron. Enjoy!
