📝 Lemon Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar

1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

🔪 Instructions
1. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Mix in egg, melted butter, and salt. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5–7 minutes by hand or with a mixer).

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

Stir and cook until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Let cool to room temperature.

3. Roll & Assemble
Roll dough into a 10x15 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
