  3. Gradually mix in 10 cups of flour. Add up to 2 more cups until dough is no longer sticky.
  4. Knead for 10 minutes. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour until dough doubles in size.
  5. Punch down dough, form into 4 loaves, place into loaf pans and let rise again until double in size(about an hour).
