Fit mixer with hook attachment and mix on medium speed until ingredients are combined, about 2 minutes (mixture will appear dry and crumbly). Add eggs and egg yolks and continue mixing until a smooth, shiny dough is formed, 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. 5.Spray a large bowl with cooking spray or brush with oil. Transfer dough to bowl, lightly grease with additional cooking spray or oil and cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel. Let rise in (shut off) oven until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  6. 6.Punch dough down and transfer to a clean, dry work surface lightly dusted with flour.
  7. 7.Cut the dough in two, then, cut off 1/3 of each of the two and divide those pieces into 4 (these will be used to make the decorative top).
  8. 8.Shape the large pieces of dough into large balls and place one on each of the prepared baking sheets.
  9. 9.With the remaining 8 small pieces of dough: shape 2 into balls.
  10. 10.Roll the rest out into 8-inch long cylinders. Extend your index, middle, and ring finger (as if you’re signing the number 3) and press down on each of the cylinders to create three indentations.
