Makes a cute little turtle out of bread that's easy to tear off and eat. Nice and salty. (A-Z Kids Cookbook) Ingredients:
2 1/2-3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 (8 ounce) package fast-rising active dry yeast |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup water |
1/3 cup milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Mix 1 1/2 cups of flour with yeast, sugar, and salt in large bowl.
2. Heat water, milk and butter to 125 to 130; stir into yeast mixture. Stir in egg. Stir in enough or remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
3. Sprinkle a surface lightly with flour. Turn dough onto the surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rise 10 minutes.
4. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Shape a 2-inch piece of dough into a ball for head, and 4 walnut-size pieces for feet. 1 more walnut-size piece shaped for tail, and remaining dough into ball for body. Place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Attach head, feet and tail by place 1 end of each under edge of body to secure. Press in raisins for eyes if desired. Cover and let rise 20 minutes.
5. Heat oven to 400. Make crisscross cuts in body, 1/4 inch deep, to look like a turtle's shell. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
