Punch down dough, turn over, cover and let rest 10 minutes. Turn out onto board; divide in half. Cut each half into 3 equal parts. Roll each part under hand to make a strip 11 to 12 inches long. Braid 3 strips, starting from the center and braiding to each end, pinching ends to seal. Place in greased loaf pan. Repeat with remaining three strips. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 40 to 50 minutes, covering with sheet of foil during last 15 minutes to prevent browning too much.
