Begin Kneading until smooth and elasicy. (You may need to add a little flour as you are kneading) Place dough into a large greased bowl. Let it rise from 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. Punch down dough and knead it a few times. Divide the dough in half. Divide one of the halves in half again. Divide each of the 3 portions into even thirds so that each set of 3 can be braided. Stack one on top of another on a cookie sheet, starting with the largest then building upwards.
