    Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic film and let the dough stand in the refrigerator overnight.
    the next day, gently pour the dough onto a work surface. Fold the dough (basically the way you would a sheet of paper for placing into an envelope) Return to bowl and return to the refrigerator for app 5 hours, repeating the folding technique every hour.
    Pour the dough onto the work surface. Cut into pieces that are roughly 2 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm) and place them on a greased baking sheet. Let them rise in the refrigerator for another 10 hours.
    Preheat oven to 450 deg F (250 deg C). Place the loaves in the oven and sprinkle a cup of water onto the floor of the oven (or use your favorite method for creating steam in the oven). Close the door and reduce the temperature to 400 deg F (210 deg C). Bake fr about 15 minutes.
