The easiest way is to go to Settings→ General→ Reset, and then select "Erase All Contents and Settings". When the process is complete, you will be met with the Welcome screen. Follow the onscreen prompts until you get to the one that asks if you want to restore from an iCloud/iTunes backup. Of course, choose to restore from the iCloud backup you referenced above.
