Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cups water ( warm 100-115 f , too hot will kill the yeast)
  • 4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (1/2 oz)
  • 4 1/2-5 cups bread flour
  • 3 cups cornmeal (plus extra to dust baking sheet) or 3 cups polenta
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus to coat bowl)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together honey, water, and yeast until smooth (1 minute); let stand in a warm spot until a thin layer of foam covers the surface (5-10 minutes).
  2. Add 1 cup of the bread flour and the cornmeal and salt; mix well.
  3. Cover bowl, and let dough rise for 1 1/2 hours.
  4. Stir in oil and 3 cups flour, scraping and folding until the dough comes away from sides of bowl and gathers into a single mass.
  5. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (10 minutes), adding flour as needed to keep dough from sticking.
  6. Lightly oil a large bowl, turning to coat all sides; transfer dough to bowl.
  7. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  9. Punch dough down, cover, and let rise for 35 minutes.
  10. Lightly grease a baking sheet and dust with cornmeal if making rounds or grease 2 (9-inch) loaf pans if making loaves.
  11. Cut dough in half and shape each half into either a round or a loaf.
  12. Let dough rest, covered loosely with a towel, for 20 minutes.
  13. Beat eggs with milk to use as a glaze; brush dough with egg mixture.
  14. Bake until bread is browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom (50 minutes).
  15. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
