French Bread

2 ½ c. warm water
2 Tbsp. yeast
3 Tbsp. sugar
¼ c oil
2 tsp salt
6 c. flour

Disolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add oil and salt. Add half the flour; mix and add rest of flour. Knead dough; let rise until double, then shape into 2 loaves on large greased cookie sheet. Slit top of loaf and let rise. Bake at 375 for 30 min. On the pan before placing the dough, I like to spread olive oil and sprinkle it with corn meal and sugar.
