A stage in the breadmaking process where the scaled dough pieces are shaped or rounded to provide a skin around the dough to hold the gas produced by fermentation and to eliminate some of the stickiness.
After dividing and rounding, the pieces are given 30 minutes' rest; they are moulded, placed on baking sheets and baked after a final proof of fixed duration.
