"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour.
Mix thoroughly and let sponge rise until doubled in size.

Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.

Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled in size.

Bake at 350 F for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.
