Microwave 3 cups of water for 2 minutes to warm it up.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of kosher salt and 1.5 tablespoons of instant yeast.

Add 5.5 cups of white flour and 1 cup of wheat flour to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients together using a stand mixer with a dough hook until a sticky dough forms.

Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for 2 hours until doubled in size.

After rising, place the dough in the refrigerator to store for up to 10 days.

When ready to bake, shape a loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet dusted with wheat flour.

Let the shaped loaf rise for 40 minutes in a warm spot.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone inside for 20-25 minutes.

Prepare a pan with 1 cup of water to create steam in the oven.

Slide the risen loaf onto the hot pizza stone and pour the water into the pan underneath.

Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crusty.

Cool the bread before slicing.
