INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle yeast over 1/4 cup of the warm water in a measuring cup.
Gently mix to moisted yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
Combine 3 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt in a bowl. Stir to mix
well. Pour yeast mixture into flour. Add remaining 1 cup water. Stir
to form ball. Add a little water if too dry, or flour if to wet.  Knead
dough on lightly floured surface, with heel of hand, stretching  dough
away from you.  3.Fold dough back over on itself. Turn the dough a
quater turn.  Repeat the kneading, pushing with heel of hand and
folding back over,  until dough is smooth and elastic, 10 to 15
minutes.  4. Lightly grease a bowl with margarine. (I sprayed the bowl
with  cooking spray.) Place the dough in the bowl turning it around in
the  bowl so it is evenly coated. cover the bowl with a clean towel or
a  piece of plastic wrap.  5 Let the dough rise in a warm place away
from drafts until doubled in  volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.To test, lightly
stick a finger in the  dough. The dent should slowly fill in when the
finger is removed.  6. Punch dough down. Divide in half. On lightly
floured surface, roll  half into 6-inch-long rope. Divide into thirds;
shape into  cigar-shapes. repeat with other half.  7. Place mini-loaves
on lightly greased (sprayed) baking sheets. If  you wish, cut slashes
in top of each loaf with a thin knife.  8. Combine the egg and the 1
tablespoon water in a small cup. brush  glaze over mini-loaves.
Sprinkle with poppy, sesame or other seeds,  if you wish.  9. Bake the
mini-loaves in preheated hot oven (400) for 25 minutes or  until gold
brown and crusty. remove with spatula to wire rack to  cool. Posted to
