   6 SMALL LOAVES: Grease 6 6x3" loaf pans. Or, if desired, grease two
   cookie sheets to make free form loaves. Divide dough into 6 parts.
   Remove air pockets by working dough with hands and rolling into 6
   10x5" rectangles. Starting from shorter side, roll up, pinching edges
   firmly to seal. For free-form loaves, taper ends slightly. Place
   seam-side-down on prepared pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until
   light and double in size, about 45 mins. Heat over to 375 degrees F.
   Bake for 25-35 mins., until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped.
   Remove from pans immediately. Cool on wire racks.
