Directions:
- Mix the yeast and water together for about 5 minutes. If you dont have yeast, alternatively mix 1/4 tbsp of lemon juice and 1/4 tbsp baking soda together the same way.
- Stir in the first 375g of flour and the salt.
- Beat well, cover with plastic wrap and let this rise 2 hours in a warm spot OR overnight in the refrigerator.
- Stir in the last 375g flour a little at a time, adding only as much as necessary to make a kneadable dough.
- Knead the dough 10-15 minutes. Add a little more flour as needed, but be careful not to make the dough too dry- it should be moist but not sticky, and very pliable.
- Place the dough in a large lightly-oiled bowl, cover well and let rise at room temperature until doubled.
- Punch the dough down and divide it in half.
- Shape the dough into 2 long loaves.
- Place on a non-stick or lightly-oiled cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Sprinkle the tops with flour, cover and let rise at room temperature until doubled.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place a shallow pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven.
- Slash the loaves in several places.
- Spray with water from a plant mister. Bake 5 minutes. Spray again. Bake 5 more minutes. Spray again. Bake 5 more minutes. Remove the pan of water at this point.
- Bake 15-20 minutes more.
- Remove bread from pans and cool on racks.
