Cover and let rise 1½ to 2 hours, until a ½-inch hole in dough made with a wet fingertip remains. If the hole fills in slightly, give the dough more time to rise.

Deflate gently. Let rest 10 minutes. Shape into loaves and let rise until almost doubles, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour.
