to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bring ends of roll rogether
to form ring; pinch ends together to seal, using water if necessary.

into top of ring. Let rise in warm place 30 minutes. (Dough will not
double in volume.)

Preheat oven to 375. Beat together egg and cold water; brush over
ring. Bake 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Immediately remove
from pan. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
