I'd recommend letting the next loaf rise for maybe double the time as this loaf. General rule is you want the shaped dough to expand to 3x its size before baking.

So this would be the second proof, you mean? After I've put it in the pan?

Doesn't have to be in the pan, but yes, that would be a second proof.
