Directions:
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F). Stir in sugar, salt, warmed milk, melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Stir in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 minutes or until smooth and springy. Cover with a dish towel and let rest 10 minutes (set your timer).
Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening or spray with cooking spray. Shape a 2-inch piece of dough into a ball for turtle’s head. Shape 4 walnut-size pieces of dough into balls for feet. Shape 1 walnut-size piece of dough into tail. Shape remaining dough into ball for turtle body; place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Attach head, feet and tail by placing 1 end of each under edge of body to secure. Press raisins into head for eyes. Turn oven to 200 F. Cover with a dish towel and let rise on open oven door for 20 minutes (set your timer).
Heat oven to 400°F. Make 1/4-inch-deep circular cut around top edge of body, then make crisscross cuts in center to look like a turtle's shell. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
