1/2 cup warm water |
1 (2 1/4 teaspoon) package yeast |
3 tablespoons granulated sugar |
3 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 large eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 quart fresh berries |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine water, yeast, and 1 tbsp sugar; stir to dissolve yeast. Let stand until foamy - about 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine remaining sugar, the flour, and salt. Add yeast mixture and eggs; beat with a wooden spoon. The dough will be wet. Cover and let rise until doubled - about an hour.
