Fold the right, and then left sides in toward the center. Fold the top of the dough inward, and then wrap the bottom part of the dough over it all.

  • If you want crackling crust after switching off the oven keep oven door ajar and keep the bread inside.
  • Once bread comes out of oven cool completely in the wire rack and cut it into slice and enjoy
