Divide dough in half and place on a lightly floured work surface. Roll or press into a 15 x 9 rectangle. Starting from the short end, roll the dough up to for a loaf. Place seam side down in pan. Repeat with other half.
Step 15
Cover and let rise about 40 minutes or until doubled. Dough should be 1 to 1 1/2 inches above the rim of the pan.
