How to make rolls: Grease 12 large muffin cups, 3x1 1/2 inches. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, using floured hands. Cut 4 balls into 3 pieces each; roll into small balls. Place 12 large balls in muffin cups. Make indentation in center of each large ball with thumb. Place 1 small ball in each indentation. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Remove rolls from refrigerator. Let rise covered in warm place 40 to 45 minutes or until almost double. Heat oven to 350°F. Brush beaten egg over rolls. Bake 22 to 26 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack.

This is a good recipe, but I think that if you show it as little muffin 'knots' (the photo) then you need to describe how to make it as such. You describe the traditional Challah loaf, with instructions,but I, personally am interested in knowing how you make the little muffins. Please, please respond. denisecott@yahoo.com
