Rising, Shaping, and Baking

Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat into a 14- x 7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan; cool.

Cover; let rise at room temperature until indentation remains after touching. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm or cold.
