Oh darn, I just made 2 batches, did not let them rise for the 90 mins I let them rest for 5 and rolled them out then , formed them into a rectangle, and put themin the Fridge for morning baking , did I mess this up already?? do u need to let them rise for the 90 mins first?? You really should allow your doughs to rise twice. The first rise really helps to improve the flavor of the dough as well as the structure and texture. Your braids should be fine, just not quite like how it is described in the recipe.-Jon
