1 C flour to make thick batter. Cover bowl with towel.
Let rise in warm place until doubled (1-2 hours.) Stir down
batter. Mix soda and 1 C flour - stir into batter to form
soft dough. Turn onto greased floured board. Use enough

smooth and elastic. Divide in half. Roll each half into a
rectangle 9x16". Starting at long side, roll up tightly and seal
