Knead the dough for a couple of minutes to remove air. Divide into 2 equal parts and shape into an elongated form.
Roll each piece by folding one edge toward the center, then fold the second edge down.
Place the preparations in oiled molds (in the form of loaves), sprinkle flour on top.
Place the molds in oiled plastic bags and leave for an hour until the dough rises to the edges of the molds.
