set aside to ferment for 30 minutes until a foam forms on the surface.
in a
large bowl add the remaining sugar, and flour and make a well in the centre.
melt butter in the microwave. when yeast is ready add the beaten eggs, butter
and vanilla extract to it, then pour it into the dry mixture and use a wooden
spoon to mix until it forms a dough. flour your work surface and tip it out and
knead it for 5 minutes. put it in a bowl and cover and leave for 45 minutes
until it has doubled in size.

flour the surface and tip out the dough and knock if back out, then dust the rolling pin and roll it into a large rectangle.
then use a pastry brush and cover the dough with the lemon sugar mixture
then starting with the widest side roll it up into a long cylinder, then slice down the centre of the dough leaving one end still attached and braid it together and then arrange it in a Ring shape on greased dusted baking sheet.
cover it again and leave it for 45 minutes to double in size again,
preheat the oven at 170c, and bake for 30minutes.
while it is baking, juice 1 large lemon, and grate the zest then add 1 cup of icing sugar and mix together, once the loaf has cooked transfer to cooling wrack and then after it has slightly cooled drizzle over the icing and add some more grated zest.
its best served warm or eaten on the day of baking but can keep over night.
if you don’t like lemon you can change the recipe and use cinnamon and brown sugar instead of lemon as the filling and make a large cinnamon roll
