Start off by warming 1 cup of milk to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then add 2 teaspoons of yeast and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar to the milk.
Give it a good whisk and let it froth up for about 10-15 minutes.
In your stand mixer, add 4 and ¼ cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla, 14 tbs melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs.
Then, pour in the frothy yeast mixture.
Using the hook attachment, mix the waffle dough on low speed until it begins to come together.
Then pick up the speed to high for about 1 minute.
Then add 1 cup of pearl sugar and mix just until the pearl sugar is well mixed.
Use a spatula to help scrape down the sides of the mixer.
Now transfer the waffle dough into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 2 hours or in the fridge overnight.
Now separate the dough into 8 balls the size of a baseball.
Then heat your waffle maker according to the instructions of your waffle iron and coat it with nonstick spray.
Then place the first ball of waffle dough in the center and close it.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle with a fork and continue doing this with the rest of the waffle dough.
