First Rise

Shaping the Dough
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Second Rise
Cover the loaf with the kitchen towel and allow it to rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Baking the Bread
Once the second rise is complete, place the loaf in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cooling
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
