Hi Tom,
You're more than welcome to use plastic wrap to cover the rising dough, but this is a sticky dough so you'll want to grease the plastic wrap well. Even taking this step, it still might stick. It's very sad when dough deflates at the very end of proofing, so it's best to at least use a light sprinkle of flour on the top of the dough. Plus, it gives your loaves a nice artisan look!
