Wet dough crumbles. Knead for 10 minutes to make dough elastic and shiny. Raise in an oiled bowl for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 4 hours to double.

Lift and wrap each strip around the center strip to make a big coil. If the 10" pan has extra dough, leave an inch from the border for expansion.

A flour towel-risen dough should spring back after 45–75 minutes. Heat oven to 375 F. To 190 F, bake the roll for 45 minutes. Foil if browning continues.
