Using floured hands, quickly stretch each portion of dough into rough 13 by 2-inch loaf, placing them about 3 inches apart.  Pat each loaf to smooth it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Bake until loaves are golden and just beginning to crack on top, about 35. minutes.  Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thriftingwonderland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/d4d74-97b16e_992b082ab5b24fd2aa32b9950d45e95bmv2.jpeg?w=350\"> <\/p>\n<p>Let loaves cool for 10 minutes.
