Another variant- Mix 3 cups warm water, 1 1/2 tablespoons each of salt and yeast in a 5 quart container with a cover. Immediately add 6 1/2 cups flour. Put on lid (but make sure it is NOT airtight) and let rise 2 hours, then refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours. Cut off a grapefruit size section, and form it into a round (as little handling as possible). Place it on a cookie sheet with foil and non-stick spray. Let sit for 20 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes, turn the oven on to 450. When it reaches temperature, put the bread in the oven and using a spray bottle, spray the oven interior with water every 5 minutes or so. Cook for 25-30 minutes. Perfect size for 2 people.
The beauty of this recipe is you leave the rest of the dough in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, just cutting and cooking as desired.
