Divide the dough into 2 parts.
Grease two 2-liter baking dishes with softened butter. Transfer the dough into the dishes and level the top.
Cover each form with parchment paper or baking paper, then with a double layer of foil.
Leave overnight at room temperature.
Place each mold in a larger pot. Pour hot water into the pot so that it reaches halfway up the molds.
