parchment paper and place each dough log seam-side down. Cover and let rise until the dough crowns slightly above the edge of the pan — about 2–4 hours, depending on room temperature.
6. Preheat and Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Right before baking, brush the tops lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Score the tops with a sharp knife or razor for that classic split look.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.
