In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in\r\nwarm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
\r\n\r\nHeat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles,\r\nthen remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted; let cool until\r\nlukewarm.
\r\n\r\nIn a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture\r\nwith the cooled milk, butter, 2 cups flour and salt; beat well to combine. Add\r\nthe remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When\r\n

the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a\r\nlightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.\r\nCover dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
\r\n\r\nDivide dough into seven pieces. One round 2 inches\r\nin diameter, five rounds 1 inch in diameter and the remainder in one large\r\nround.
\r\n\r\nPlace the large round on a lightly greased cookie\r\nsheet and flatten slightly. Shape four of the 1 inch rounds into 'feet' and one\r\ninto a 'tail' for the turtle. Shape the two inch round into a 'head' for the\r\nturtle Attach each piece by flattening the end which attaches to the body,\r\nwetting it slightly with water and pinching it under the turtle's 'body'. Press\r\nraisins into the turtle's head for 'eyes'.
\r\n\r\nCover the turtle with as damp cloth and let rise for\r\n20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
\r\n\r\nWith a sharp knife, make crisscross cuts in the\r\nturtle's body to make the 'shell'. Finally, use a scissors to make a cut for\r\nthe turtle's mouth. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes,\r\nor until golden brown.
