• Remove dough from refrigerator. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until dough no longer springs back when gently pressed with fingers, about 1 hour 30 minutes (dough will rise above pan by 1 to 1 1/2 inches).
• Meanwhile, position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350°F
• Bake bread until well browned on top, about 20 minutes.
