Stir in rest of flour by hand to make a moderately soft dough. Turn out onto floured board. Knead 3-5 minutes. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour). Punch down, divide into 2 parts. Place in two well-greased #1 coffee cans. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes - covering loosely with foil the last 15 minutes.
