   Divide the dough into approximately 20 portions and give them the elongated shape of French bread. Arrange the loaves on one or two baking sheets.

   Place the bread in an oven heated to 220°C. Meanwhile, prepare a spray bottle with filtered water. As soon as the breads start to brown, quickly open the oven and spray some water over them. Close the oven again and finish baking.
