Ingredients
Scale
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups warm milk
- Butter and cornmeal for greasing and dusting the pans
Instructions
- Mix the yeast, honey, and water. Set aside.
- Sift the salt, baking powder, and flour.
- Add the milk and one cup of the flour to the yeast mixture.
- Blend well.
- Add the remaining flour and beat.
- You should have a very soft, goopy dough. Yes. I said goopy.
- Spoon the dough into 2 loaf pans that have been greased and dusted with the cornmeal.
- Set aside in a warm place until the batter has doubled and is at the top of the pans, or a little above. This may take 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425F
- Dust the tops of the loaves with cornmeal and bake for 15 minutes or so. Loaf will sound hollow when tapped.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes if you want a crisper, more golden crust.
- Cool and slice.
