2 tablespoons warm water -- (100-115 degrees)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 whole eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour -- sifted
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon cool water
Soften the yeast in warm water and stir in the sugar and salt to dissolve.
In a bowl, beat 2 of the eggs and blend in the flour. Then stir in the
yeast mixture and melted butter. Knead vigorously in the bowl with the
hands, till the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and is elastic-5
minutes. Make into a ball, put in a buttered bowl, and cover with plastic
wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 hours, or till
doubled in bulk.
Punch down and divide into 18 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and
arrange, well separated, on a buttered baking sheet. Let rise 30 minutes,
or until doubled in size. Brush with the remaining egg beaten with a
teaspoon of water.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 10 minutes, or until nicely browned.
