5. After the 2 hours, the dough should have doubled in volume. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.
6. TIPIf you want to make the dough even looser you should be patient and cover the dough again with a damp cloth for the next 6 hours, otherwise it helps to add some more yeast to the dough (shortens the rest period) ,
