Notes

If you do not have a clay covered bread pan put the dough into and uncovered bread pan and preheat to 375 and then bake both loaves together for 45 minutes or until golden brown

Let it rest at least 30 minutes before you slice it.

We use a starter for this because it makes the process longer. As a result, the bread tastes better and lasts longer.
