2 pkgs. original dry yeast
6 c. unsifted plain flour
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 c. milk
1/2 c. water
Corn meal

Grease two loaf pans. Sprinkle greased pans with corn meal. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 3 of the 6 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar, salt, and soda. Set aside.

Heat liquids until very warm (120 to 130 degrees). Add dry mixture. Beat well. Stir in rest of flour, one cup at a time, to make a stiff batter. Spoon into pans. Sprinkle tops with corn meal. Cover. Let rise 45 minutes. Bake 25 minutes. Remove from pans immediately.
