Add water, instant yeast and sugar together, mix and let sit for a minute.

Add egg and egg yolk to water and mix.

Add warm (not hot) melted butter to water and mix.

Add salt and flour a cup at a time then mix. When all flour is added knead for 4 minutes is using a mixer or about 6 of hand kneading. Dough will be sticky.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight or for about 4 hours.

Remove from the refrigerator and separate dough into 14 pieces. The dough will feel dense and kind of strange. it's supposed to. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place roll each ball in sugar, unless you are making them savory then skip this step.

Place on a piece of parchment paper or non stick baking mat.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warmed oven, around 100 degrees or lower is good. Let dough rise for about 1 hour.

Heat waffle maker and brush the pan with butter before adding 1 dough ball per large square.

Press down fully and allow to cook through, I have found that if I wait until the light turns on for my waffle maker my waffles get a little too brown for my liking but each waffle maker is different so just check on your waffle when you are cooking it. It like them to be a nice brown.

Remove from waffle maker and brush with more butter and toss in a bowl full of sugar or dust all sides with sugar.

Top with desired toppings and enjoy.
