Add butter and remove pan from heat. Let cool to body temperature. Combine yeast, warm water and sugar in large mixing bowl. Cover with clean dish towel and place bowl in warm place for 10 to 20 minutes, or until yeast foams. Add cooled milk mixture, salt and enough flour to form a thick batter. Stir with wooden spoon vigorously about 20 times. Cover bowl again and let dough rise in warm place 1 hour. Punch down dough. Add enough remaining flour by half cupfuls to make a kneadable dough.

Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown. Let cool before cutting. By Mary Carroll. -
