4 c. Hot Water
6 Tb. Sugar
2 Tb. Salt
1 c. Oil
10-12 c. Flour (Unbleached White or Fresh Whole Wheat)

Place all ingredients in Bosch bowl. Knead thoroughly, about 8-10 minutes. Let rise in the bowl about 10 minutes and then punch down. (turning on the Bosch Mixer with the Dough Hook on will “punch the dough down) Repeat 4 or 5 times. Divide into 3-4 regular loaf pans or shape into two rounds. Slash tops with sharp knife and brush with an egg wash. Let raise until doubled in size. Bake 30 minutes at 400E.
** If you would like to bake these loaves directly on your pizza stone follow these instructions.
Before preheating the stone sprinkle with cornmeal or semolina flour, shape loaves and place directly on cool baking stone. Slash and brush with egg wash. Turn oven on warm (150 degrees or less) let bread rise on the stone until nearly doubled. Turn oven up to 400E and bake for 30-35 minutes.
