3 Ways To Shape A Loaf Of Bread

Sprinkle some flour under the dough if it sticks. Do not, however, use a lot of flour or the dough will not stick to itself when it comes time to fold it.

Fold it in half again if the dough still seems loose. The dough needs to be taut to turn out well.

You can also use a razor blade if you don’t have a serrated knife.

Make sure that you grease the pan with cooking oil or butter before baking. If you are baking white or wheat bread, use coarse cornmeal instead of oil or butter.

The holes will allow the 2 dough balls to weld together during baking.
