Moldovan Bread image

From the blog "hip2thrift". This bread was prepared by the author's grandmother in a wood-burning oven in a large quantity. The author reduced it to two loaves. She describes it as a cross between rustic Italian and sourdough bread.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoons sunflower oil (or other neutral oil)
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the warm water, sugar, the yeast, and a cup of flour. Mix it with a spoon until smooth. Let stand for about 15 minutes - you should start to see the yeast begin to work.
  • Mix in the oil and the salt. Start adding the rest of the flour, mixing until it is incorporated and the dough comes together.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface (I usually use an oiled surface for kneading) and knead until you have a smooth dough, about 10 minutes.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place until the dough is doubled.
  • Turn out of bowl onto floured surface. Deflate the dough by kneading gently and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Divide dough into six pieces and shape each piece into a rope. Braid three pieces into a loaf; repeat with remaining pieces.
  • Place each braid into a greased loaf pan, cover and let rise until nearly doubled.
  • Preheat oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C)
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn out of pans and brush with a little oil.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a different one next time.

The bread didn't rise as much as I expected, but it still tasted good.

I wasn't a fan of the flavor of this bread. It was a bit too sour for my taste.

This bread is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good.

I love this bread! It's so flavorful and moist. I've tried several other Moldovan bread recipes, but this one is by far the best.

Absolutely delicious! The bread turned out perfect, with a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior. My family loved it!
