    4                    frankfurters
    1      tablespoon    milk

 Add a little whimsey to lunchtime and serve frankfurters in fun-to-eat shapes. 
 Frozen bread dough bakes up around the franks to form a roll.  You can make eig
 ht flowers, eight butterflies, or a combination of both.  The recipe is the sam
 e for both - you just the franks different.
 
  Preparation time: 20 minutes.  Rising time:  10 t 15 minutes.  Baking time: 15
  minutes.
 
  1. Grease baking sheets. Cut bread dough into 32 equal pieces.  Roll each piec
 e of dough into a ball.  Place four balls, slightly touching, in a square on ba
 king sheet.
 
  2. To make flowers, cut frankfurters in half crosswise. Cut a deep X through r
 ound ends of frank, cutting almost to the cut end.  Place frankfurter, cut end 
 down, in the center of dough balls.  Repeat with remaining dough and frankfurte
 rs.
 
  3. To make butterflies, cut frankfurters in half crosswise.  Starting at the f
 lat end, cut about a third of the way down toward rounded end, cutting all the 
 way through the frankfurter to form antennae.  Lay frankfurter lengthwise throu
 gh center of dough balls.  Repeat with remaining dough and frankfurters.
 
  4. Let rise 10 to 15 minutes.  Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Using a pastry brush
 ; brush dough with milk and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.  B
 ake 10 to 15 minutes until golden.  Cool slightly before serving. Serve with mu
 stard or ketchup.  Yield: 8 servings.
