   roll or pat each half to a 14 x 7 inch rectangle.  Starting with
   shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each
   turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9 x 5 or
   8 x 4 inch bread pans. Cover; allow to rise in warm place until 
   double, about 30 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes 
   until golden brown. Remove from pans and You know the rest!
