Bread Making: How to Shape a Sourdough Loaf 

Like the pre-shape, shaping your sourdough loaf creates tension in the loaf so it achieves a nice rise and oven spring when baked. There are lots of different methods out there but this is what I've found works best for me. Don't forget your banneton baskets so you have a place for the dough to rise and ferment after it's shaped. Pro tip: Flour your baskets with rice flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
