1. 1

   You will need a large bread bowl, a rolling pin, and unglazed quarry tiles or several baking sheets, or alternatively a cast iron or other heavy skillet or griddle at least 9 inches in diameter.

2. 2

   Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a large bread bowl. Stir to dissolve. Add whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, then 1 cup white flour. Stir 100 times (one minute) in the same direction to activate the gluten in the flour. Let this sponge rest for at least 10 minutes or as long as 2 hours.
