** Put the loaves of bread in their baskets, put the shower caps back on, put them in the refrigerator for 2 days minimum up to 4 days if you need to.
** In a Dutch oven or sourdough bread pan, or you could use 2 bread pans the same size, use 1 as a lid, put the loaves in and you will need to score it deep on top of the dough.
** Bake at 450°F covered for 1 hour
