Add about half the remaining flour and beat until very smooth. 6. Mix in remaining flour to make a soft dough. 7. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; let rest 5 to 10 minutes. 8. Lightly grease deep bowl large enough to allow dough to double. 9. Knead dough; shape into smooth ball and put in greased bowl; turning to bring greased surface to top. 10. Cover with waxed paper or towel; let stand in warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. 11. Punch down; pull edges to center, then turn dough completely over. 12. Cover; let rise again until almost doubled (about 45 minutes). 13. Meanwhile, grease baking sheet lightly; sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. 14. Punch down dough; turn out onto lightly floured surface. 15. Roll out to 14x8-inch rectangle; roll up rectangle tightly into a long slender loaf and pinch ends to seal. 16.

A Message from our Provider:
“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
