Put flour , lemon zest , sugar and vanilla bean extract in the food processor with kneading attachment. You can totally do this by hand, if you do not have a processor. Add the yeast to blood temperature water (May be 2 tbsp) along with a tsp of sugar and let it froth. Do not disturb it and let it sit for 3-4 mins. Then add this mixture to the processor and whack it for 30 sec. Add the milk by the spoon till the mixture comes together and forms a dough. Do not over work it (1 to 1.5 mins max).
