Take the dough out of Pasta Fresca and shape it with your hands to form a ball. Dust it with flour and place it in a large bowl. Cover it with a cotton cloth and let it rise for at least 30 minutes in a warm spot, away from any draughts.

Take the dough out of Pasta Fresca, give it the shape you want and let it rest for 90 minutes.
Pre-heat the oven to 220°C and bake the bread for 20 or 40 minutes, depending on its shape (the bigger its shape, the longer it needs to bake), until the crust is golden brown. Check the bread every now and then by pricking it with a wooden skewer.
If the skewer comes out dry, remove the bread from the oven and cover it with a cotton cloth to keep it soft.
