Technique: Loaf Shaping
By: Yuna Wu

About

The last step in the dough manipulation process to give it its final shape before baking.  Proper shaping expels all gas bubbles from the dough so that there are no large air pockets in the baked product.  For pan breads and hearth breads, the dough is usually shaped so that the seam is centered on the bottom to avoid splitting during the baking process.
