Como fazer Old Time Bread

Grind 10 cups of wheat flour using a stone mill (if possible) for the finest texture. Sift the flour through a fine-mesh sieve.
In a large bowl, create a well in the center of the flour.
Add 3 pints (approximately 1.4 liters) of ale yeast and 2 teaspoons of salt to the well.
Gradually add lukewarm water to the flour, mixing with your hands until a dough forms. Knead the dough vigorously for 10-15 minutes. If you don’t have a bread kneading machine, you can fold and work the dough in a floured cloth, using your feet to knead (as originally suggested).
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Gently shape the dough into round, flat loaves (manchets). Score the sides to allow for expansion. Prick the tops with a knife.
Place the loaves in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
