1/2 cup warm water (105º to 115ºF)
2 packages Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast, *see notes
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 eggs, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (3 1/2 to 4 cups)
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1. Measure warm water into large, warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast, stir until dissolved. Stir in sugar, salt, butter, 3 eggs and 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
2. Punch dough down; cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 to 24 hours.
3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Remove 1/3 cup dough; reserve. Divide remaining dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each to 36-inch rope, tapering ends. Place ropes side by side; twist loosely together; pinch ends to seal. Grease outside of 6 to 7-inch diameter oven-proof bowl. Invert bowl onto large, greased baking sheet. Wrap dough twist around bowl and cross ends. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place for 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, divide reserved dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each to 9-inch rope; coil ends in opposite directions to make "S" shape; reserve.
5. Brush ring with egg yolk mixture. Place "S" shapes, at an angle, on ring at evenly spaced intervals. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place for 5 minutes.
6. Brush with remaining egg mixture. Bake at 350ºF oven for 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pan and bowl; cool on wire rack. Cut into slices and serve with cheeses, dips or spreads.
