floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes.
(Dough will still be soft and sticky!) Cover the dough with the bowl
and let rest for 20 minutes. Divide the dough in half and let rest
for 10 minutes. Form each half into a large ball and place on a large
greased baking sheet. Flatten the loaf slightly with the palm of the
hand and brush with the oil. Let rise in a warm place until doubled,
about 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 30 to
35 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from
the baking sheet and cool, on wire racks, until cold before slicing
