add the flour, salt and butter. blend with the dough hook until combined. then knead for 5 minutes or until dough starts to get a shine to it. it will be a sticky dough. at one point it will pull away from the sides of the pan. cover and let rise until doubled.
roll the dough out into a log. divide into 10 - 12 pieces. i did 10 and they were pretty big, i thought. i will do 12 next time. roll the dough into a round and roll in the 3/4 cup flour.
