  2. Mix the yeast and salt with the water in a 5 quart bowl or a lidded (not airtight) food container.

  12. Flatten the top slightly and allow to rest on a cornmeal-covered pizza peel for 40 minutes.
  13. Twenty minutes before baking time, preheat oven to 450º F, with a baking stone placed on the middle rack.
  14. Place a cast iron skillet or empty broiler tray on the bottom rack.
  15. Sprinkle loaf liberally with cornmeal and slash the top using a serrated bread knife.
  16. Slide loaf directly onto the hot stone.
  17. Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the skillet or broiler tray and quickly close the door.
  18. Bake for about 30 minutes or until top of crust is dark brown and firm. Smaller or larger loaves will require adjustments in baking time.
