- 1 tbspn salt
- 3-1/2 cups flour

In bowl, mix yeast with part of milk until dissolved. Add 2 eggs, beat. Mix in dry ingredients. Add remaining milk a little at a time, mixing thoroughly. Cut in butter until blended.
Knead dough, let rise 1 to 1-1/2 hours until double in size. Knead again, let rise 40 minutes. Roll dough onto floured board, shape into log. Cut log into 28 pieces of equal size. Shape each piece of dough into a ball, and roll each in melted butter.
Use half of the balls in each of the buttered, floured molds. Place 7 balls in each bowl, leaving space in between. Place remaining on top, spacing evenly. Let dough rise in the molds. Brush tops with remaining egg. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
