Baking Homemade Bread: How To Shape Loaves
Rolled Dough Method
| Step 1
With rolling pin, roll dough out to uniform thickness, stretching by hand to form rectangle approximately 9″ x 12″. Make certain to break down all gas bubbles in the outer edge of the dough. |
|
| Step 2
From upper edge, roll dough toward you, jelly roll fashion, sealing dough with heel of hand after each roll of dough. (About four turns will bring you to last seal.) Be sure to seal final seam on bottom of loaf. |
|
| Step 3
Seal ends of loaf by using the side of hand to get thin sealed strip. |
|
| Step 4
Fold sealed ends of loaf under, using fingers. Avoid tearing dough. |
|
| Step 5
Place shaped loaf, with seam side down, in well greased bread pan (approx. 8″ x 5″ top inside measure). |
|
| Step 6
When bread has risen until doubled put pans in oven, leaving space around each pan so heat can circulate freely around pans. |

Thanks, I’ve not tried the jelly roll or a rolling pin which may make for prettier bread. I knead it out all by hand, and fold in once on each side.
