Hotel Loaves

The crusty cleft loaves not being suitable to slice for the table, nor for toast, we make of the same dough slightly worked, a better sort. Cut the dough in eight pieces and mould them up round, but not enough to destroy the texture--only from 6 to 12 turns. Let stand on the table a few minutes. Press them out like dinner plates. Bring over two opposite edges and press them into the middle and place the long loaves side by side in the pans.
