​(Optional if you want smaller loaves you can divide the dough in 2, 3 or 4).
Grab the lip of the dough at the bottom, pull it gently up, then fold it over onto the centre of the dough. Repeat with the right and left side of the dough, and repeat with the top of the dough. Once you fold it down, grab the bottom lip again and gently roll the dough right-side up. Cup your palms around the dough and rotate it against the counter to shape it up.
