The
type of bread you are making may vary the shaping process. If you are using a
recipe that requires a distinctive shape, follow these same basic instructions
but shape accordingly (for more, go to Bread,
Shaping101): 1. Lightly flour the work surface; shape the dough into a smooth ball.
2. Use a rolling pin to form a rectangle.
3. Beginning at the short end of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly to
make a loaf shape.
4. Pinch the seam and ends of the rolled dough with your fingers to seal it
closed.
5. Place dough, seam side down, in greased baking pan.
