Homemade Dough Waffles - Waffle Love Inspired

Homemade Dough Waffles - Waffle Love Inspired

Waffle Love is a popular waffle restaurant that has the yummiest dough waffles.  Craving Waffle Love one night, I decided to see if I could make them at home.  While most waffles are made with a batter, these waffles are made with a yeast dough.  A totally different texture makes these waffles a delicious treat.  To create your own homemade Waffle Love inspired waffles, the recipe is below.  Enjoy!

Try these yummy topping combinations:
Lemon juice and granulated sugar with whipped cream (my favorite!)
Strawberries and Nutella
Bananas, maple syrup, peanut butter, and chocolate chips
Butter and jam
Raspberries, lemon juice, and whipped cream
Experiment and make your own combination


Ingredients:
2 1/3 tsp. active dry yeast
2 Tbs. sugar
3/4 cup milk - lukewarm
1 cup butter - melted
3 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups flour
1/4 tbs. salt
**optional 2/3 cup pearl sugar

Directions:

1. Pour yeast and granulated sugar over the milk in a bowl.  Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to become creamy (10-15 minutes).  
2. Whisk butter, vanilla, eggs into yeast mixture until evenly blended.  Set aside.
3. Mix flour and salt in separate large bowl.  
4. Make a well in center and pour wet mixture into well.  Stir together until dough forms.  
5. Cover and let rise in warm place for 20-30 minutes.  **Optional: mix in pearl sugar after risen.
6. Press golf-ball-sized amounts of dough into heated waffle iron and cook until golden brown.

Enjoy!
