Artisian bread

This bread is from my sister's secret stash of recipies. It's really easy and makes you look like a professional baker.

Yeild: 4 small rounds

6 1/2 cups flour
3 cups warm water
1 1/2 tbsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp yeast

Let yeast sit in warm water until bubbly (about 5 minutes). Mix in salt and flour, knead until combined. Spray with PAM and cover. Let rise 1-2 hours. Divide into 4 loaves and round them. Let rise another hour. Bake at 450 on a heated stone (I used a cookie sheet and it worked OK) but COVERED for 20 minutes. Covering steams the bread. I used my Kitchenaid mixing bowl. Then cook uncovered for 10 more minutes. Enjoy! I'm going to try making this with wheat flour in the future..stay tuned!
