To bake in the oven, knead by hand or machine, let rise in lightly buttered bowl for about an hour, punch down, shape, let rise in 2 loaf pans (lightly sprayed with vegetable spray or buttered), then bake in a 350° oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, until loaves are browned and sound hollow when tapped on bottom.
