Shaping and Baking

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.

Cool the Bread
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
