Tuscan Bread
(QVC)

SPONGE:
1 T dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
3/4 cup flour

DOUGH:
3-1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1t salt (optional) 
sponge
1-1/3 cups lukewarm water

Sponge:

Stir the yeast into the water in a bowl until it is dissolved. Let it stand until it looks foamy. Then, add the flour and stir until combined well. Cover the bowl loosely with waxed paper or a tea towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled.

Dough:

Stir the flours and salt (if using) together in a large bowl. Make a welled area in the center and pour in the sponge, and then the water. Mix together well, beating vigorously for about 4 minutes. Place the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead vigorously for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic (it'll bounce back when you touch it). Form dough into a ball, lightly dust it with flour, and place in a nonstick (or greased) bowl. Cover with a tea towel, and let it rise again in a warm place until doubled (this will take about an hour). Put dough on the floured surface again to flatten it into an oval. Then, roll it into an oblong loaf. To bake it traditionally, place the loaf on a baking stone and bake in a preheated 450° F oven for 30 to 35 minutes. If you don't have a stone, use a cookie sheet and bake at 400° F for 45 to 50 minutes. In both cases, the bread is done when it gives off a "hollow" sound when tapped lightly on the side. Let cool on rack before handling. Makes 1 large round loaf, or 2 regular loaves.
