Mix 1 1/2 C of flour the yeast sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat water milk and margarine to 125°; stir into yeast mixture. Stir in egg. Stir in enough of remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Sprinkle a surface lightly with flour. Turn the dough onto the surface; knead until smooth and elastic about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Shape a 2 inch piece of dough into a ball for head. Shape 4 walnut-size pieces of dough into balls for feet. Shape 1 walnut-size piece of dough into tail. Shape remaining dough into a ball for body; place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Attach head feet and tail by placing 1 end of each under edge of body to secure. Press raisins into head for eyes. Cover and let rise 20 minutes. Heat oven to 400°. Make crisscross cuts in body 1/4 inch deep to look like a turtle’s shell. Bake until golden brown 20-25 minutes. Makes 1 turtle bread.
