  1. Mix yeast, 2 cups of the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Mix in egg, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  4. Add in the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time.
  5. Mix or knead dough into a smooth ball.
  6. Place dough in a clean bowl and cover with a moistened towel. Allow to rise until doubled (about 2 hrs).
  7. Meanwhile, cream remaining 1/3 cups of the flour with the butter, and set in fridge to chill.
  8. Once the dough has risen, roll out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
