This is a popular, easy-to-make bread; I used to give everybody loaves of it as Christmas presents every year. You can toast thick slices as a replacement for English muffins.
6 cups flour
1 package dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups milk
1/2 cup water
cornmeal
Combine 3 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and soda. Heat liquids until very warm, about 120-130 degrees, and add to dry mixture. Beat well. Add in enough additional flour to make a stiff batter.
Spoon into two 8-1/2 by 4-1/2 inch loaf pans that have been greased and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise in a warm place for one hour. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal.
Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from pans immediatly and cool on a wire rack.
