Mix water, sugar and yeast and set aside. Beat
2 eggs and add to above mixture. Add 3 cups of
the flour, add salt. Beat well with spoon or
mixer. Add oil and remaining flour. Kneed until
bread consistency (about 15 minutes). Cover and
let raise 2 hours until double in bulk. Mix
down and let raise again if time permits. If
you don't have time one raising is enough. Melt
1 cube of butter or margarine and add olive
oil. Roll out 2/3 of dough. Cut with 2 inch
cookie cutter and dip in melted margarine or
butter and olive oil. Place each piece on it's
side along the edge of the bundt pan. Put
remaining dough in regular bread pan or round
can. Let raise. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 or
30 minutes until done. Turn out on place and
pull apart. Makes 2 bundt pans.
Do not use just butter, it burns too easily.
Mix half butter and half margarine if you like
the butter taste better.
