Ingredients

  • 0.5 ounce yeast dry
  • 0.3 cup butter diced chilled
  • 6.5 cups flour all-purpose
  • teaspoon salt 
  • cups water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • wire rack

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
  2. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour and salt.
  4. Cut in the butter and stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Butter a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  6. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form the dough into a large oval loaf.
  7. Place onto the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. When the loaf is risen, cut a 1/2 inch deep cross onto the top of it.
  8. Brush the top with water before baking.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
