How I form / shape my bread dough into loaves of bread prior to the second rise & baking

This is a short video I recorded for my friend Bill, showing how I shape my pain al ancienne bread dough into a loaf. This dough has spent 18 to 20 hours in the refrigerator over night, then I remove it, let the bowl sit in warm water for 30 to 45 minutes. The dough rises for another 2 hours, then I form it as shown here. From there, it rises under plastic wrap on the counter for another 45 minutes to an hour. Then score the top of the loaf and dust with a little flour. This dough is a slightly modified version of the one outlined in Peter Reinhart's book, The Bread Bakers Apprentice.
