      Title: Italian Bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 24 servings
 
  1 3/4 c  Warm water
      2 pk Active dry yeast
      2 ts Salt
  5 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
           Flour
 
  1.  Place 1/2 cup warm water in large warm bowl.  Sprinkle in yeast;
  stir until dissolved. 2. Add remaining water, salt, and 2 cups flour;
  blend well.  Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. 3.
  Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to
  8 minutes. 4. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.  Cover;
  let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20 to
  40 minutes. 5. Punch dough down.  Remove dough to lightly floured
  surface; divide in half. Roll each half to 12-inch circle.  Roll up
  each circle tightly as for jelly roll to make loaf.  Pinch seams and
  ends to seal; taper ends by gently rolling back and forth. 6. Place
  loaves, seam sides down, on large greased baking sheet.  Cover; let
  rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes. 7.
  Lightly dust loaves with additional flour, if desired. With sharp
  knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes (1/4 inch deep) across top of
  each loaf. 8. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.
  Remove from sheet; let cool on wire rack.
