Let it rise covered for 3 hours.
Once risen, divide into small portions (with these quantities you will get about 4 large ones).
Knead each portion, folding it onto itself to give it the classic lemon shape, it should have a roundish shape with two elongated corners, then let them rise in the turned off oven for another 40/50 minutes
