Hi Liz! Wow, this bread sounds amazing ... and tastes amazing, too! :) What size roasting pan did you use? And do you fold the dish towel around the dough as it rises?

We used my mom's pan for the loaf, it's large but if you don't have a big one, it should be fine too!

After the dough rises overnight in a bowl covered with plastic wrap, you flatten it out, fold it and then place it in a dish towel. It does the final rising for a few hours in there. I hope that answers your question!
