necessary. Knead until smooth and elastic. Stir dough in well
buttered bowl and turn so all surfaces are buttered. Cover with a
towel and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Brush baking
sheet in butter. Punch down on lightly floured board. Knead, then pat
into a 14" cylinder. Place on baking sheet and form into a large
ring. Press trinket into dough so that it is hidden. Set aside,
covered with a towel, to rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Before baking, brush
