Punch down the risen dough to release air. Transfer it to a floured surface and shape it into a loaf. You can place the shaped dough in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan or shape it into a round loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Second Rise:
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size again.
Baking the Bread
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake:
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature is around 190°F (88°C).
Cool:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
