1. Cut/portion the risen dough with a dough scraper.
2. Fold the dough over onto itself, using parchment/the scraper to help.
3. Gather it into a rough round.
4. Press and fold the dough to build tension.
5. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.
6. Shape each piece into a smooth round by folding the edges under.
7. Lift a shaped round and set it into the baking mould.
8. Place the shaped dough into the loaf pan.
9. Brush the top with water or melted butter (glass shown).
10. Slide the pan into the holder rack, then bake. Result: a rustic, flour-dusted round loaf.
