The exact number of folds isn't important. Just keep going till it's done. Here's a great video with techniques for creating various shapes. In particular, watch how he does the baguette pre-shape (at about 0:37). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MVHDdDtuRc The only difference with the Italian bread is that it will be a lot fatter when finished.

I can understand flattening the dough (into what shape?), and what rolling is, but how many times are you rolling and sealing? Is the dough rolled one turn, then sealed somehow and on and on until it's been completely rolled up one time? ..and if you start with a rectangle and start rolling, how do you end up with an oval loaf as the recipe describes? thanks for your help, charles Hello Dawn and all,

I expect to get big air pockets, it's just not happening. I have spent hours and hours trying to find the Italian bread that we all love. I expect to get big air pockets, it’s just not happening.
