    Form dough,in to a log shape,(about the size of a pecan log) then wrap very well in wrap.Wrap in two or three layers of plastric wrap to make as air tight as possible.Allow to stay in the refrigertor for at least 5-7 day,s......I have seen my Mom make them in a round shape,but I do the log's....
