French Peasant Bread

Ingredients
1 package dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups flour
oil
corn meal
melted butter

Directions
1. Place yeast, water, sugar, and salt in a warm bowl and stir until dissolved.  Add flour and stir until well blended.  Do not knead.  Cover and let rise one hour or until doubled in size.
2. Flour hands, remove dough from the bowl and form into two rounds.  Place on an oiled cookie sheet sprinkled with corn meal.  Let rise an additional hour.
3. Brush the top with melted butter and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.  Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake an additional 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and brush again with butter.  Serve warm.

Notes
I can't believe it has taken me this long to put this recipe up with the others.  I make it frequently and am often rummaging to find the little scrap of paper it is written on.  Now, I will finally know where to find it.
