To mãke the dough: Combine ãll of the dough ingredients in ã bowl (or the bucket of your breãd mãchine), ãnd mix ãnd kneãd — by hãnd, using ã mixer, or in your breãd mãchine set on the dough cycle — to mãke ã smooth, very soft dough. The dough should stick ã bit to the bottom of the bowl if you're using ã stãnd mixer.
2. Plãce the dough in ã lightly greãsed bowl, cover, ãnd let it rise until it's doubled in size, ãbout 45 to 60 minutes.

6. Plãce the log seãm-side down on ã lightly greãsed or pãrchment-lined bãking sheet.
7. Using kitchen sheãrs, stãrt ½ inch from one end ãnd cut the log lengthwise down the center ãbout 1-inch deep, to within ½ inch of the other end.
8. Keeping the cut side up, form ãn "S" shãpe. Tuck both ends under the center of the "S" to form ã "figure 8;" pinch the ends together to seãl.
