INSTRUCTIONS
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk and about 1/2
cup of flour. In a large bowl, blend butter, sugar,
salt and eggs. Add yeast dough and mix thoroughly.
Gradually, add 2 1/2 cups flour to make a medium
dough. Place in a greased bowl and brush with melted
butter. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise
until double in volume, about 3 hours. Use 1 cup or
more flour to knead dough and roll into a 4 to 5 foot
long rope. Form into a oval on a 14 x 17" greased
cookie sheet, connecting ends of the rope with a few
drops of water. Press the doll (or bean) into the
dough from underneath. Cover with a damp cloth and let
rise until double in volume, about 1 hour. Bake @ 325
degrees for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned.
Brush top of cake with corn syrup and sprinkle with
alternating bands of colored sugar. Cake freezes well.
