Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water and add the salt and sugar, stirring thoroughly.
- Add flour, one cup at a time, beating it with a wooden spoon.
- You can also use the dough hook on an electric mixer at low speed.
- Add enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough.
- Shape dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl and grease the top.
- Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and shape into two round Italian style loaves.
- Arrange onto a baking sheet, heavily sprinkled with cornmeal and allow to rise for 5 minutes.
- Slash the tops of the loaves in 2 or 3 places with a knife or scissors.
- Brush the loaves with water and place them into a cold oven.
- Set the oven control at 400° and place a pan of boiling water on the bottom of the oven.
- Bake loaves until they are crusty and done for about 40 to 45 minutes.
