- 2 cups warm water (about 100–120 degrees)

- Scrape dough into a large greased bowl and place in the refrigerator over night or for several hours.
- Two hours before baking, remove dough from refrigerator and pinch off a 2 tablespoon sized dough ball with fingers. Pull two sides of dough ball under and pinch to form a smooth rounded top.
