1. Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and stand in a warm place. Dissolve sugar and fat in the hot liquid.
|
2. When cooled to lukewarm, dissolve the yeast in some of the liquid and stir into the flour to make a sponge in the centre of the bowl.
|
3. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Add slightly beaten eggs to the sponge and stir in remaining liquid and flour to make dough.
|
4. Turn out on a floured board and knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic. The dough should not stick to the hand or board.
|
5. Return dough to the bowl, brush top with fat or dust with flour, cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until approximately double in bulk.
|
6. Knead on floured board for 10 minutes and shape into coils for round loaves. Place on greased or floured baking sheet and let rise again till about double in bulk.
|
7. Brush with egg yolk and water and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F; reduce heat to 375°F and bake for 45 minutes or till nicely crusted and light brown on the bottom.
