How to shape a loaf of bread
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a long rectangle about 8 inches wide.
- Beginning with a short side, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Pinch the dough at each end together and tuck under the loaf, leaving behind smooth ends.
- Place the dough seam side down into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan and let rise until doubled before baking.
