- Flour a surface and place dough into it. Divide dough into two if you’re making the full-size loaves.
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough out, then roll the dough in with your hands like a log. Place it into your greased loaf pan seam side down. Repeat with remaining dough. NOTE: sprinkle the bottom of the pans with cornmeal and then sprinkle the tops of dough loaves with oats.
