• 2 after the dough has completed the dough cycle, shape it however you'd like. i usually just round mine into a large ball. let it rise on a greased cookie sheet or in a bread pan for about an hour. bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 25-35 minutes. it is important to let this bread cool almost completely before cutting it. it freezes well.
