• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in bowl about 1 hour or til doubled.
• Remove the towel and plastic wrap and turn mixer on low to"punch down" the dough; if you wish, you can let the dough raise a second time as it makes for a more flavorful roll.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 36"plops"; The dough will be very sticky.
• Place"plops", edges just touching, in a buttered 9x13 baking pan; don't bother trying to smooth out the"plops"-- they will smooth out as they raise.
