4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon instant dry yeast
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour, sugar and dry yeast together.

Mix in the butter and work into a soft malleable dough.

Shape the dough into a long thin cylinder.

Slice a small piece of dough.

Using the palms of your hands make a tarallini-style log -- about about 5 inches long, 1/2 inch wide.

Pinch the ends together.

Place the tarallini on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake until golden brown -- about 20 minutes.
