In a large bowl mix together the yeast, sugar, salt and water. Let this stand until the yeast is dissolved. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time to the liquid and mix thoroughly until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface to knead. (This may be a little messy, but don't give up!)

Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat the dough. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume (about 90 minutes).

Shaping the Frog: Punch down the dough with your fist and briefly knead out any air bubbles. Take a large chunk of the dough and formed it into a ball. Then squish one end of it to make it a bit oblong. This formed the body of the frog.

Next add the legs. Make a smaller ball of dough, cut it in half, and set each half behind the toad to form the rear legs. Make a small disc of dough and cut it in half and cut out some toe wedges to form the rear feet. Front feet, as you can see, were just little tubes of dough that we slit to create toes.Place the frog bread on a cookie sheet and let the frog bread rest for 10-20 minutes. Brush it with cold water or egg yolk. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom

This idea came to my mind when I saw the picture for the White Snow Mini Cream Bread Rolls.-Dust the dough with the green tea powder as lightly as you can.-The ones in the photo were made with no sugar and I sprinkled too much on that it became pretty bitter.-It's probably better to put the green tea in with the dough.-It's best to wrap the bread with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes after inserting the cream into the mouths.-If you don't have sweetened green tea powder, then mix the green tea with powdered sugar and dust the dough.

Egg Bread Egg Bread
For dinner rolls I will usually double this recipe. It will fill a whole large cookie sheet. Singly it will make one good sized loaf of bread. For cinnimon rolls I will roll out to about 1/4 inch thick, coat generously with softed butter, then generously sprinkly with brown sugar and cinnimon, I roll it up, cut with a thread into one inch wide rolls. Lay on their sides. Let rise for about 30 mins and then bake.
