In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.

Punch dough down.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls.
Dip the balls into the 6 tablespoons of melted butter, and layer in a greased 9-inch tube pan. Drizzle with remaining melted butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 45 minutes.
