Notes

--Prep time includes rising of dough--
* add a few tablespoons of warm water to activate yeast if needed. Once the yeast is active, about 5 min, add to flour during second step.
**Have a little water nearby as this part works best with the help of some water to keep the ends sealed.
SERVING: makes 4 pinwheel stuffed bread loafs.
