Grease the baking pan with butter. Transfer the dough so that it fills ⅓ of its height.

Step 22 of 24

Let the dough rise. Place in an oven preheated to 100 degrees for 10 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 180 degrees and bake until done (a Kulich (Easter bread) 11 cm high and 17 cm wide took 35 minutes: 10 minutes at 100 degrees and 25 at 180 degrees). Check for doneness with a wooden skewer: if it comes out dry, the Kulich (Easter bread) is ready.
