- Roll the ball of dough around in the bowl until it becomes covered with oil as well.
- Cover the bowl with the dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise. It should take the dough about two hours to double in size.

- Bake for 40-45 minutes. The smell will be divine however, you should allow the bread to cool a bit before enjoying them.
