3 cups warm water
1 1/2 TBS yeast or fast acting yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 TBS salt or kosher salt
6 cups flour
Combine warm water with yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl that can be covered. Let yeast process for 10 min. Then add 3 cups flour and salt stir till all combined add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Cover and let rise at room temperature about 45 min. to 1 1/2 hours. Preheat pizza stone in oven to 475 F. Place a pan of water on the bottom shelf of oven. Take one third of the dough and form into a oval shaped loaf on parchment paper. Slash top of loaf and cover with plastic wrap to rise for about 45min. Once risen place loaf on pizza stone with parchment paper underneath it and cover with a metal bowl and bake 20 -23min. Remove metal bowl and slide parchment paper from underneath decrease temperature to 400 F. Bake another 16-18 min. Lightly spray the bread with a mist of water every 5 min. Just with a squirt bottle. Do this every 5 min until bread is golden brown. Allow bread to rest about 20min. on a cooling rack. You can make your next loaf to rise as soon as you put your first one in the oven or you can refrigerate the remainder of the dough for up to a week and just cook when you want.
