Name: The Big Bread
Ingredients: 4 cups lukewarm water (105° to 115°F); 2 tablespoons molasses; 2 packages active dry yeast; Cornmeal, to cover the baking sheet; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 11 to 12 cups unbleached (all-purpose) flour, plus more if needed; 2½ tablespoons salt

Stir the lukewarm water and the molasses together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast, stirring to dissolve all the particles, and let stand for 10 minutes.

Begin adding the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring as you go. Add the salt and beat well after 5 cups of flour have been incorporated, then stir in 5 more cups of flour.
