- In a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook combine the yeast and water, mixing slowly till yeast is dissolved. Stir in salt and sugar. Mix well. Set aside for 5 min.
- Beat for 5 min, gradually adding flour till the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 min, till dough is smooth and elastic, adding flour as necessary to prevent stickiness.
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat on all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a hot, draft-free place till doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hrs. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and let rise slowly in the refrigerator for 10 to 12 hrs or possibly overnight.
- Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment or possibly sprinkle with cornmeal.
- Punch down the dough. Divide in half, shape into 2 round loaves, and place on the baking sheet. Carve an X in the top of the loaf and spray with vinegar. Place in a cool oven and turn the oven on to 400 degrees for 45 min. Transfer to wire rack to cold.
