20 oz. water (lukewarm to cool)
2 1/2 lbs. bread flour
1 1/2 tbsp. salt
2 1/2 oz. yeast (not powdered - 4 cubes)
1/4 c. olive oil

Put water, oil and yeast into a bowl and mix until yeast is dissolved. Add 3/4 of flour and knead 15 minutes (add additional flour if too sticky). Add salt and knead 10 more minutes.

Cover with oil and let rise until double (about 40 minutes). Punch down - form loaves and let rise 20 minutes (almost double). Brush with egg wash (1 egg and some water).

Cover the bottom of the pan with cornmeal and place dough on it. Bake 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
