Cover let rise at room temp. The bread will not bubble it will be noticeably softer. In the morning, gently punch the dough with wet hands. Cover and let rise again. After a few hours turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and gently shape into a oval or circle. Dust with flour and set aside to rise, slide onto the baking stone.
