Prepare the pan: Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and set it aside.
Activate the yeast: Place warm water in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and whisk. Let rest for 10 minutes until bubbly.
Mix the wet ingredients: Add eggnog, sugar, salt, vanilla, and egg to yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
Combine with flour: Gradually stir in flour. Use a stand mixer if desired, adding softened butter and remaining flour.
Knead the dough: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
