In a small bowl mix together yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon honey. Set
aside and allow yeast to become foamy. In a saucepan, combine butter,
remaining 3 teaspoons honey, salt and water. Heat gently until butter and
honey melt. Pour liquid into large warmed bowl. Stir beaten egg and yeast
into mixture.

12-inch length. Cut in halves lengthways. Place lengths on greased cookie
sheets about 4-inches apart.
In a small bowl beat remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush egg over

until not quite doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Bake bread
