3 ounce Sugar
1 One half cup Olive oil
2 Sprigs fresh rosemary
4 ounce Raisins

1 Egg

*Finely chopped. Add the sugar to the bread recipe that follows, work
into a dough, and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled. Meanwhile,
in a small pan heat the olive oil slowly with the rosemary sprigs. Discard
this rosemary. Put the dough on a table and mix the olive oil into it. Add
raisins and chopped rosemary and form into buns of 3 in. diameter. Make a
cross on the top with a pair of scissors, brush with the egg (beaten), and
bake until golden (2030 mins) in a 400F oven. Both recipes from A TABLE IN
