• Mix again for 5-10 minutes, then cover and allow to rise 2-3 hours.
• Turn out onto lightly greased surface and flatten like you would cinnamon rolls .

• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Slash the top of the loaf 4 times with a sharp knife.
• Spritz loaf and oven with water.
• Bake in 475°F oven for 3 minutes spraying 2 more times.
• Turn the oven down to 375°F (if it is baking to fast try 350°F).
• Spray often with the water and watch for the bread turning brown too fast. If it does, cover with a foil tent.

• This bread can be a little temperamental, just watch the coloring and adjust temp and cook time as needed.
