I found the original version of this recipe in the Betty Crocker Bread Cookbook about 25-30 years ago and have pretty much given up on making my own sourdough, since this is a good as all but the very best sourdough breads around. Cooking time includes rising time.

Steps:
- Heat yogurt to lukewarm (110 degrees F).
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in yogurt, sugar, salt, oil and 2 cups flour, and beat until smooth.
- Stir in enough additional flour to make dough easy to handle.
- Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, to obtain a firm, non-sticky sough.
- Place in oiled bowl, and turn to oil top of dough.
- Cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled in volume.
- Punch down dough, divide into 8 equal parts, knead each one, and flatten into a 4"x6" rectangle.
- Roll up, beginning on one of the long sides, excluding any air bubbles.
- Pinch edge of dough firmly into roll to seal, press each end firmly to seal, and fold ends under.
- Place loaves, seam side down, on greased cookie sheets sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Brush or spray tops with cold water, and cut three diagonal slices across top of each loaf with a sharp knife or razor blade.
- Let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush or spray loaves with cold water, and sprinkle pepper into slashes if desired.
- Bake until loaves sound hollow when rapped on the bottom or when they reach an internal temperature of 190 degrees F on an instant reading thermometer, about 35 minutes, brushing or spraying with cold water every 10 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack before wrapping.
- Recipe can be doubled successfully, and bread freezes very well.
- Thaw to room temperature and heat unwrapped in oven to restore the crisp crust.
