  2. 2 Place a pizza stone in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). The oven must be preheated for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  3. 3 Deflate dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into 2 loaves. Place loaves seam-side down on a cutting board generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  4. 4 Beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until well combined. Brush risen loaves with egg mixture. Make a single long, quick cut down the center of loaves with a sharp knife. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure loaves are not sticking. If they stick, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen. Slide loaves onto the hot pizza stone with one quick but careful motion.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer sauce for at least 1 hour (up to 6 for best flavor). Stir occasionally.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place lasagna noodles into a deep bowl and cover with very hot tap water; let soak for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Beat egg in a bowl and stir ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg into egg until thoroughly combined.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 5 Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 4 soaked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with one-third of the ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  6. 6 Bake until lasagna noodles are tender and lasagna is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese topping is lightly browned, 10 to 15 more minutes. Let lasagna stand 15 minutes before serving to make it easier to slice.
