["Put water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it; let stand 2-3 minutes and stir to dissolve.", "Combine the egg, honey, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a large bowl and mix well with a whisk or spoon.", "Add the yeast, milk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and beat until well blended.", "Stir in the flour gradually, adding only enough to form a soft dough that can be gathered into a soft ball.", "Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface; if the dough is sticky, lightly butter your hands rather than add more flour.", "Knead until smooth and elastic, then shape the dough into a ball and place in a large, lightly buttered bowl, cover with a towel or non-stick foil and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size (if you poke it with your finger, it should not\"bounce back\"").""
