Add all ingredients, holding back two cups of flour, into a mixer or large bowl. Knead until smooth, adding enough flour until the bread forms into a soft ball.
Turn out onto floured surface and knead for ten minutes (or do so in your stand mixer), until dough is elastic and smooth.
Put dough into greased bowl, cover with towel, and leave in a warm place to rise for 6 hours.
Punch down dough and knead again for 3 minutes. Divide into buttered loaf pans and let rise again for 4 hours.
Bake at 375* for 45 minutes or until top is brown. Loaves will sound hollow when tapped.
