4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

6

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

7

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf or round shape.

8

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

9

Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed.

10

Make shallow slashes on the top of the dough with a sharp knife.

11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

12

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired; let cool before slicing.
