I put the loaf on parchment and then onto a sheet pan that has no sides so I can slide it into the cast iron pot easily. While the dough is resting in its circle shape, pre-heat the oven with the cast iron pan inside for at least 30 minutes. Place it on a piece of parchment paper that has been floured to rest for another hour. Turn it over with your hands and shape it into some sort of a circle. After it has risen, it will be bubbly and light. Cover it with a lid or some plastic wrap and let it do its thing.
