Show Bow knot buns are fun to shape I I There's a sailor's knot and a lover's knot, a figure-of-eight and four-in-hand. There's even a knot that's good enough to eat a yeast-raised bun shaped into a Bow Knot. It's made of dough cut into strips which are tied into what a sailor would call overhand knots. Topped with a cinnamon-crumb mixture, Bow Knots are delicious with breakfast, break-fast, mid-morning coffee or afternoon tea. Bow Knots are prepared by the "no-dissolve" Rapidmix Method which eliminates the step of dissolving yeast in warm water. Instead, undissolved yeast is treated as a dry ingredient ingred-ient mixed in with part of the flour, sugar and salt. Developed by the test kitchens of Fleisch-mann's Fleisch-mann's Yeast, Rapidmix makes bread baking easier and better than ever. Bow Knot buns are made of a refrigerator-type yeast dough cut into strips and shaped into knots. Fun to make, they are an intriguing ac- w companiment for coffee or tea. 1 BOW KNOTS 4 to 41. cups unsifted flour V4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 2 packages Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast V cup milk Vi cup water Vi cup (1 stick) Fleischmann's Margarine In a large bowl thoroughly mix 1 ' cups flour, sugar, salt and undissolved Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast.
