| 1. In a large bowl mix together the water, milk, olive oil, and starter. | 2. Mix the yeast and salt into the flour. | 3. Stir 6 cups of flour into the liquid mixture, a cup at a time, until you have a dough the consistency of drop-cookie batter. | 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and satiny. | 5. The dough should be on the slack side, but not oozy; it needs to be able to hold its shape in the oven. | 6. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. | 7. Place the bowl in a warm spot and let the dough rise, undisturbed, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. | 8. Punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough gently and divide it into three pieces. | 9. Form the loaves into torpedo shapes, and place the loaves on parchment-lined baking sheets. | 10. With a serrated knife or lamé, make three slashes in the tops of the loaves, each 1/2-inch deep. | 11. Cover with a damp towel. | 12. Let the loaves rise until they look puffy. | 13. This should take approximately 30 minutes. While the loaves are rising, preheat the oven to 425°F. | 14. Brush or spray the loaves with water; a plant mister is good for this job. | 15. Bake for 10 minutes, spraying the loaves with water two more times. | 16. Lower the oven to 375°F and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until golden brown. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
