Feel free to shape the dough and then bake it in a loaf pan if it makes it more husband-friendly for you! It can still be baked at the same temperature (450 degrees) for about 25-30 minutes and you can always test the internal temperature to be sure it has finished baking completely (190 degrees when taken with a kitchen thermometer). Just be sure that you a portioning out the right amount of dough for your pan size--an 8.5" by 4.5" standard loaf pan needs between 0.875 and 1.5 lb (394 - 680 g) of dough, which would roughly be about 1/3 of the total dough. The loaf pan should be filled about 1/2 way before the dough begins its second rise. Good luck and happy baking! Kye@KAF
