You could divide the dough into two portions after mixing, then move one into a cold(er) room for the bulk ferment. Or, after the bulk and the loaves have been shaped, move one into the refrigerator or a cold room for the final ferment.
Retarding will be the answer but the specifics will have to be locally optimized. You only have to worry about time and temperature. My guess is that final proof is not long enough to create the difference you need, so some amount of temperature reduction during bulk fermentation will be needed - but not too much or the second loaf won't be ready when your oven is ready to receive it.

I think I will try retarding after it's been shaped..and see what happens!
Thanks!

I will try retarding after the loaves are shaped first..and see how it works.. Thank you!
