It is better to use vanilla bean versus extract because it is purer and is not a mixture with alcohol.  It is important to temper the eggs when mixing them in because if you don't than the eggs can cook when they meet the heated surface which would ruin the recipe.  Our pudding was a little slow to start but after a little patience it developed and became a beautiful and delicious culmination.  Recipe.

Foccacia Recipe
Yeast is used in this recipe to help the dough to rise and become fluffy and delicious.  It needs to rise to give it that bread like texture and feeling, It creates the holes in the bread which makes it taste airier.  Kneading the dough is important because it help to combine all of the ingredients properly.  Gluten gives bread its strength, texture, and flavor.  It connects all of the flower together to make it stick.  Our recipe came out perfectly and this is due to the fact that we can cook wonderfully.
