place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with cling wrap and set aside for 1-2 hrs to rise.when its risen up seperate the dough  into 4 quarters.

 Make one big ball shape and flatten them slightly then place on a greased baking tray.This is the body of the teddy bear.Take 2 small balls make a couch in centre and fill chicken stuffing then close and roll the ball.sligtly flat them and place in sides of the body to make hands.........Take a little bigger balls fill the stuffing and place them as legs.Then take a big ball stuff in and place as head.Do the same and make ears,nose.....Place halved cherry for the nose and use raisins for eyes etc.........
