Remove from processor bowl and shape into a ball. Place in a large, greased bowl, turning over to coat surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into a loaf and place in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 -inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl and continue as directed above.
