Add remaining ingredients, using enough flour to make fairly stiff dough. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic. Place in lightly greased bowl; cover and set in warm place; let rise until double in bulk. Knead again for 2 minutes. Shape as desired. Place in greased baking pan, cover, and set in warm place until double in bulk. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
