Cajun Three Pepper Bread

8 cups flour
3/4 cup polenta
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp parsley flakes 
3 tsp garlic, crushed
2 packages yeast
2 tsp salt
1/2 diced sweet red pepper
1 tsp Tabasco or hot pepper sauce
2 1/2 cup water

Proof yeast in 4 Tbsp of the water. Mix all the dry ingredients in
a bowl, then add the liquids. Turn the dough onto a floured surface
and knead it for 10-12 minutes.The dough should have a coarse look,
but will be cohesive, stretchy, tacky but not sticky, and resilient.
Allow the dough to rise for about 1-1/2 hours (until double in
size).

Punch it down, and allow it to rise again for 1-1 1/2 hours. Punch
it down again. Cut the dough into two (2) pieces and form into
rounds or French loaves. Allow to proof for 1 hour.

Bake like French breads in a 400 deg oven with steam or spray for
30-40 minutes. Cool before cutting.
