Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla sugar (or extract), and orange zest.
After the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients, along with the egg and vegetable oil (or melted butter).
Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
First Rise:
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
