ITALIAN YEAST PEASANT BREAD RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by AllysKitchen
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Put the 2 packages of yeast in a room temperature large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup of the warm water (about 110-120 degrees) and whisk dissolving the yeast. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. Add the remaining water to the yeast and gently whisk together. Sift 4 cups of sifted flour and salt into a second mixing bowl. Pour half of the flour into the wet mixture and blend well. Add the remaining flour and blend well. Put the remaining flour on a clean surface. Dump out the dough and knead for about 5 minutes. (Note: leave the flour on this surface because you will knead a second time) Coat a clean large bowl with cooking spray. Form the dough into a large ball, put in the bowl, cover with a clean dish towel and place in a draft free area and let the dough rise until about double in size (an hour or more). (Note: I put mine in a cold oven. Turn on the light and let it rise. ) After the dough has raised, dump onto the flour surface and knead another 5-7 minutes. Shape into desired bread loaves, make slits (about ½" deep) on top with a sharp knife, cover and let it raise again for about 30 minutes. Brush the tops/sides of the bread with an egg white (optional) for a shiny finish. Bake in a pre-heated 400 oven about 45-55minutes. (Note: Cover the top with foil if it's getting too brown.)
