Directions
-
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water (120-130ðF) and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour, salt, and baking soda (if using the variation).
-
Pour the yeast mixture and warm milk into the dry ingredients. Beat well until smooth.
-
Stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour gradually to form a stiff, sticky batter.
-
Grease two 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pans and sprinkle generously with cornmeal.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, dividing it evenly.
-
Sprinkle the tops of the bread with additional cornmeal.
-
Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat oven to 400ðF (204ðC).
-
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from pans immediately and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
