   Mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

   When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.

   Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

   Place the loaf in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
