Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for 3 to 4 hours, or until it has tripled in bulk. Punch the dough down, and divide it into 2 halves. Form each loaf into 2 rounds. Arrange the loaves on a buttered baking sheet. Let the dough rise again for 30 to 40 minutes or until it has doubled. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Bake the loaves for 1 hour 10 minutes. They will sound hollow when the bottom is tapped. Transfer the loaves to a rack and let them cool.
