Shape dough into two baguettes by first rolling dough into a large rectangle, then roll rectangle into loaf (tuck ends underneath loaf), place on baking sheet and allow to double again. With a very sharp knife, make a slit down each loaf. Bake in a pre-heated 375-degree oven for 30 min, Test for doneness by tapping on loaf; it should sound hollow.
