4.5 cups bread flour
1   pkg  quick-rising dry yeast
1.5 cups warm water (120-130F)
3.5 Tbsp granulated sugar
2   tsp  salt

Mix 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.  Add the water (not too hot,
but warmer than "warm"), sugar, and salt; stir until well mixed.
Mix in the remaining flour, knead for about 10 minutes until smooth
and elastic.

Let sit covered for 15-20 minutes.  Cut into rolls or twists and
place on baking sheet, let sit for another 15 minutes.  Baste with
melted butter.

Place in 375F oven with a bowl of hot water and bake for 15 minutes.
Baste with more butter a few minutes before removing.
