Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the starter, tomato juice and sugar. Add optional ingredients.
Add in 1 cup of flour at a time and stir well to develop the gluten.
When the dough is stiff, turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Add the last 1 cup of flour as you go.
Add to a greased bowl and lightly grease the top.
Cover with a towel and place in a draft free area over night or for 12 hours.
Punch down dough and divide into two.
Form into rounds and place each on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled generously with cornmeal.
Let rise for 1-2 hours, covered with a towel.
Preheat oven to 350° F (177° C).
Rub tops of loaves lightly with flour and slash with a sharp knife.
Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.
ENJOY!
