• 1.5 tbsp dry active yeast
• 6 1/2 cups flour bread flour if you have it.
• 1.5 tbsp kosher salt

• Combine water and yeast and stir until the yeast is dissolved. Add flour and salt and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Allow dough to rise for 2 hours at room temperature, covered with a kitchen towel.
• Apply light dusting of flour over dough and divide it in half and shape into 2 loaves, rounding the top. If you only want to make one loaf of bread at this time, store the unused dough in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks until ready to use.
• Place unbaked loaf(s) on pizza peel that is lightly dusted with cornmeal. Apply light dusting of flour over top and cut three slashes into top of dough, using a searrated knife. Cover dough with kitchen towel and allow to rest for 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450° F with baking stone on center wrack. When bread is ready to go in the oven, slide the dough off pizza peel onto hot stone. Place 1 cup hot water into oven broiler (or other oven safe pan), on bottom wrack of oven. Quickly close oven door to created a steam bath within the oven. This will help produce a crisp outer crust.
• Bake for 30 minutes and allow to cool slightly before slicking. Enjoy!
