- it should rise... lightly flour the surface and turn the dough out and knead for about 5 Minutes ... spray bowl again and spray clear wrap.. again let rise for another hour....
- pre-heat oven at 500 ???
- including pan that u cook the bread on..
- turn out on lightly floured surface.
- divide into 2 loaves... allow to rise covered with a towel.....for 30 minutes ...
- shape them into oblong loaves.... OR make round and put in a greased cast iron Dutch oven
- when u get ready to bake... u should use a paint brush to paint loaves liberally with the olive oil mixture!
- !
- cut an "x" if it is round... and cut slashes in a loaf before placing it in the oven... turn down to 375 and bake for 15 mind and place more of the olive oil mixture liberally .....
- finish baking for another 20-30 minutes... put more of the olive oil mixture on the warm bread and put on cooling rack...
