• Step9Transfer dough on a flat neat surface and shape it into a round loaf
• Step10Transfer the whole stuff to a greased skillet or baking sheet
• Step11Using a knife, score on top of dough about an inch in an X shape so that heat gets into the center of the dough
• Step12Bake the bread till it becomes golden brown in color for about 40 minutes
• Step13Check for the doneness. If the inserted skewer comes out clean, then it is done
• Step14Remove it from oven or pan and keep it aside for about 5 minutes
• Step15Place it on a serving plate and have it as for your breakfast.

If the top is getting too dark while baking, remove it, place it aluminum foil, and bake it. You need to be careful while baking the bread on a cast iron skillet, as there are chances that the bread easily turns too dark.
