Two and then shape, let rise a third time. I've noticed that most of the instant yeast recipes only have 2 risings, as well as some newer recipes using long-acting yeast. Older and more traditional recipes have a first rise of 1-1/2 to 2 hours, punch down, another 45 minutes or so, shape, then a final rise before baking.

I've been baking bread for over 35 years.
