Roll it in the bowl to coat surface with oil; allow to rise at room temperature 45-60 minutes. - Shape dough on a flour-dusted work surface and transfer to pan. Cover loosely and let rise at room temperature, another 45-60 minutes. - Preheat oven to 215 C. Start baking in a steam-filled oven before maximum temperature is reached. - Rotate loaf after 20 minutes of baking, and continue baking another 20-30 minutes. - Remove bread from the pan immediately, transfer to a cooling rack, and cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
