Preparation:

On a table top put the flour and form a hole in the middle, put the salt, sugar, eggs (previously bated), butter and warm butter. Dilute the yeast in some warm butter and add to the mixture. Knead the mixture with both hands until all the ingredients come together into smooth dough. Cover the dough and leave for 30 minutes.
