Add 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1/3 cup honey and salt to the mixing flour. Add to this another 2 bowls of flour, while constantly stirring to mix well and prevent any lumps. Once the dough is made, flour a flat surface (like the counter top) and knead the dough on it. Knead it until it easily pulls away from the flat surface but is not sticky. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. The dough will rise in the warm environment.
