In a small bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 tsp. yeast in 1/2 cup warm milk. Add a pinch of sugar to speed up the process. Proof it for about 10 minutes, or until nice and foamy.
In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup melted butter, 2 1/2 cup warm milk, 3 egg yolks (reserve the whites), 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 2 tsp. vanilla. Mix until well blended. Add yeast mixture.
Add 4 cups of flour, one cup at a time.
Whip egg whites until they form little peaks. Fold into mixture.
Let rise for about 1 hour.
