  8. Prepare a banneton lined with cloth and lightly dust it with flour.
  9. Shape each dough portion into a round, smoothing the surface.
  10. Place the shaped dough into the banneton with the seam side up.
  11. Cover and proof at room temperature for 2 hours.
  12. Carefully remove the dough from the banneton and flip it onto a tray.
  13. Lightly dust the dough with flour and score as desired to create patterns.
  14. Preheat the oven to 240°C and bake for 15 minutes.
