Make a bread dough.

At the shaping stage and before baking, shape the dough into balls.

For each ball, cut 4 pieces of string. Coat the string with oil and arrange it crosswise on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place a ball of dough on the crossed cooking string. Loosely tie each string around the loaf. Place a clean tea towel on top and let rest for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the dough will have risen and taken on a pumpkin shape. Bake for 15 minutes at 240°C.
