## **Instructions**
### **1. Activate the Yeast:**

– Let it rise in a warm place for **1 to 1.5 hours**, or until doubled in size.
### **4. Shape the Bread:**

– Shape each piece into a smooth ball or roll and place it into a greased baking pan.
### **5. Second Rise:**
– Cover and let the dough rise again for **30-45 minutes**, until it puffs up beautifully.
### **6. Bake the Bread:**
