Rewana is a sourdough and as such it needs some time to develop the yeast which will make the bread rise. This unfortunately doesn't happen in a few hours. So cannot "make the bug" in a morning unfortunately.

Try the recipe fisher posted a while back:
Maori Fried Bread
Bowl one:
5 cups plain flour. . 3 tbsp white sugar. . 1/2 tsp salt. ~ mix all together...
Bowl two:
1 tbsp sugar. . 3 cups milk. . boiling water mixed together sprinkle on 1 sachet of fresh yeast ~ mix all together
After 15 minutes combine well into 1 bowl and let rise for 1. 5 hours... Deep fry chunks in hot oil... ready when golden brown. .
It's not rewena, but is yummy, and the girls in the Maori class I attended where it was made had no complaints!
