1. Combine 1/2 cup flour with crumbled yeast. Mix to a soft dough with the warm water, lightly knead in a bowl and make a shallow cross on the top with a sharp knife. Leave mixture in a warm place in a bowl to prove, until mixture doubles in size.

2. Sift remaining flour into a basin with the salt and the sugar. Make a dough with the eggs and knead on a flour board until it is soft and pliable. Knead the butter and flour mixture into the yeast dough and transfer to an oiled bowl.
