It can go in large bread tins or free form. The dough is pretty tight. All the multigrain. 

Dump on counter and divide in half.
Fold each half over itself and let it sit for 10 min.
Then...

pat down into a rectangle and start to roll it in on itself eliminating the edge.

when you get it rolled into a log pinch the seam and leave it on counter under a cloth for about an hour.

heat oven to highest heat. Use a stone for free form bread.
Bake

Bake for about 20 min at high heat then reduce heat to about 350. You can turn the loaves at that point since most ovens bake differently on each side. Reverse and reverse the loaves.

When they are done, leave them in with a spoon stuck in the oven door to let in some air.

Take out and cool on rack. 

This bread is best served toasted. It is a bit heavy but loaded with fibre and tasty.
