4. Knead until well mixed and shape into an 8 inch (or so) loaf.
5. Lay out a fairly large sheet of aluminum foil, place the loaf in the center, and wrap foil around loaf lengthwise, twisting the ends to form a sausage link-like loaf.
6. Steam loaf (still wrapped in foil) for 30-45 mins (see note in description).
7. Pre-heat oven to 350u0b0F.
8. Place loaf (still wrapped foil) on a baking sheet or in a pan and bake for 30-45 mins (see note in description).
