    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1                cup  warm water -- (105F to 115F)
       1/2           cup  warm milk -- (105F to 115F)
    2        tablespoons  honey -- or sugar
    2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast
    3               cups  bread flour
    1                cup  semolina flour
    1           teaspoon  sea salt
       1/4           cup  olive oil
    2        tablespoons  coarse grain mustard

1.   Combine water, milk, honey, and yeast in the large mixing bowl 
of a freestanding electric mixer. Let stand about 10 to 15 minutes or 
until foamy. Add 2 cups of the bread flour. Beat on low speed for 4 
minutes. Remove beaters. Cover bowl and let stand for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

2.   Add the remaining 1 cup bread flour, the semolina flour, and 
salt. Using dough hooks, beat mixture for 5 minutes. Drizzle with 2 
tablespoons of the olive oil. Continue beating on medium speed until 
oil is incorporated. You should have a soft, fairly sticky dough. 
Brush 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a large bowl. Transfer 
dough to oiled bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise until doubled 
in size (about 1 hour).

3.   Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Divide dough in half. 
Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Sprinkle 1 large baking sheet with 
the cornmeal. Shape dough by gently pulling each portion into a ball, 
tucking edges under. Place dough balls on the baking sheet. Flatten 
each dough ball slightly to about 6" in diameter. Brush tops of 
loaves with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let rise until nearly 
doubled (20 to 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 450F. With a very sharp 
knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes on top of each loaf about 1/4" deep.

4.   Place a shallow baking pan with about 1/2" of boiling water on 
the bottom rack of the preheated oven. Place baking sheet on the 
middle rack in the oven. Working quickly, heavily mist the inside of 
the oven, including the bread, with water from a clean spray bottle. 
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the 
bread is 200F, covering bread with foil in the last 10 minutes of 
baking to prevent overbrowning. Immediately remove loaves from baking 
sheet. Cool on a wire rack.

Makes 2 loaves (8 servings per loaf).

Description:
    "Try this yeast bread the next time you serve an Italian dinner. 
Allowing the yeast mixture to stand before beating in the flour will 
ensure loaves with thick, hearty crusts and soft, toothsome crumbs."
