   Combine the yeast, honey, milk, and butter, stir, and leave for 15 mintues to dissolve.

   In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and egg. With a wooden spoon, stir from the center, incorporating flour with each turn, to obtain a rough dough.

6. 6
