Provided by mz0926

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup "fed" sourdough starter
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Steps:

) Combine all of the ingredients, kneading to form a smooth dough. 2) Allow the dough to rise, in a covered bowl, until it's doubled in size, about 90 minutes. 3) Gently divide the dough in half; it'll deflate somewhat. 4) Gently shape the dough into two oval loaves; or, for longer loaves, two 10" to 11" logs. Place the loaves on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise until very puffy, about 1 hour. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 425°F. 5) Spray the loaves with lukewarm water. 6) Make two fairly deep diagonal slashes in each; a serrated bread knife, wielded firmly, works well here. 7) Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, until it's a very deep golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and cool on a rack.
