Add more flour if needed.6 - Knead, knead, knead. Knead until dough "feels" good - not sticky, but warm and elastic. may need a little more flour, or you may not have used quite all of the 20 cups. Every batch varies.7 - Set in an oiled earthenware bowl where it is warm, (on top of stove or radiator) and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise till the dough is double in bulk, usually one hour.8 - Punch dough down and turn dough over in the bowl. Cover, and let stand one more hour in a warm place.9 - Turn the dough onto a board and divide dough into six loaves.10 - Shape dough and put in greased pans in warm place for 20 minutes.11 - Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for one hour, always remembering to allow a little space between each loaf in the oven (3 on the upper shelf, 3 on lower).AND there's your bread!!!
