Ingredients
- 2 packets of Fleischmann’s ActiveDry Yeast
- 2 cups of water warmed to 110 – 115 degrees
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 4 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp cornmeal for sprinkling.
Instructions
- In your stand mixer’s bowl dissolve yeast in the warmed water.
- Add salt and sugar and mix on the lowest speed for a few seconds. Just until well mixed.
- Continue mixing on the lowest speed and slowly mix in the flour a little bit at a time.
- Stop the mixer. With a spatula scrape down the sides of the bowl and scrape the dough of the mixing paddle.
- Resume mixing on the lowest speed for 5 minutes. This process is taking the place of hand kneading the dough.
- Grease a large mixing bowl.
- Scrape down the bowl and paddle and pour (more like plop) the dough into the greased mixing bowl.
- Turn the dough over once in the bowl to grease the top and bottom of the dough.
- Cover with plastic wrap until dough rises. (About an hour)
- Grease baking sheets. ( I recommend to use one baking sheet per loaf of bread)
- Punch down the dough.
- Place dough on a floured surface and divide and shape into three loaves. (Or two if you want to make extra long loaves)
- Place loaves on the greased baking sheets and sprinkle the tops with cornmeal.
- Let dough rise. (about 30 minutes)
- Heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
