Better Sandwich Loaves

This time I made and kneaded the dough just before bed, let it rise overnight for 10 hours, shaped the loaves in the morning and let them rise in the warm oven for 5 hours before baking. Very good texture and flavor, symmetrical rise, generally better. Another change that might have helped the symmetry is that I put the loaves in end-to-end, parallel to the oven door, instead of side-by-side with the ends facing the door; I also used an "envelope" fold to shape them instead of rolling.
