Repeat the same process 3 times
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions
Shape as desired (long baguette or oval,or round )
Place shaped breads on a lined baking pan (use foil or parchment paper )
Lightly dust the tops with flour (optional)
Let the shaped loaves to rest and rise another 30-40 minutes lightly covered with a towel
At this point you can preheat the oven to 480° F/250° C degree
Prior baking ,use a sharp knife to make a few slashes on the top of the bread
To make sure you have that crispy crust ,drop a few ice cubes into the oven,right before baking to create steam
Bake 10 minutes ,then lower the temperature to 450° F/220° C and bake another 10-15 minutes
Remember to switch baking pans halfway through the baking
Tip: Depending on the shape, baking time may vary
Long slim baguettes will bake faster than thick oval or round shaped ones,so keep an eye
When the bread has dark golden crust color take out
Allow the bread to cool down at least 30 minutes before slicing
Enjoy!
