Personal Notes:
The cutting of the dough and the rising of the dough require patience. It is not necessary to let the dough rise a second time, however, I have found the dough gets a little lighter. This is a nice replacement for bread for a lenten meal. Also, when making the bobalki, one may also take a small portion a make a small bread for New Year's Day.
