7.Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a greased baking sheet.

8.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9.Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
