mix dry & wet separately and then combine. knead lightly on floured surface, will be sticky at first, only three or four times. divide into two round loaves, slash with an X about 1/4 inch deep. Place on sheet sprinkled with cornmeal and BAKE at 425 for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350 and bake for about 30 minutes more. They are done when they are lightly browned on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool on rack for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing in wedges or breaking off hunks.
This bread is dark, fibery, and flavorful and easy enough to make every day.
