Directions:
Mix in order given, mixing the yeast with a little flour and adding that while dough is still very soft. Add enough flour to make a dough that holds together in a ball shape and is not sticky if you handle it with floured hands. Cover. Let rise until double (a half an hour or more). Divide in half. Roll out to about 12x15" rectangle. Roll up jelly roll style and place on greased cookie sheet. Cut diagonal slits on top. Let rise about 30-45 minutes. Brush with mixture of 1 egg and 2 tbsp beaten with a fork (optional). Bake at 400F for 20 minutes or until golden.
