Hello,
I understand the boule and find it user friendly. However, what do or how do I shape an oval. I could make it oblong. However, I believe it would become uneven. I have searched for videos however I find more for scoring than the shaping. By the time my bread book arrives. I hope to have used my new banneton.
Warm Regards,
Casey

You'll shape it as bâtard. Hope you find the video helpful.
