Step 2

Punch down the dough and divide in half. Roll out bubbles and roll up into the shape of a loaf. Do the same with the second "loaf". Place loaves into oiled bread pans and let rise again. When about 1 to 1 1/2" above pan bake in preheated oven about 30 minutes.

I find that once I can smell that heady beautiful odor the bread is done or pretty close. After that smell (about 25 minutes) take out your bread and if it comes easly out of bread pan tap the bottom. If it sounds hollow it's done. IF it doesn't comeout of the pan easily and you greased them well then the bread isn't done yet. Give it another 5 minutes and check it again
