Low Fat Recipe- Peasant Bread

Dump 1 cup of bread flour into large bowl, add water, salt & yeast. Blend well by hand or mixer. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time till a rough ball of dough forms. ( You may not need all the flour.)

Knead dough on a floured surface for 15 minutes. Add flour to dough if dough becomes sticky. Place into a large deep bowl smeared with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. Turn dough ball to coat with oil. Cover bowl with kitchen towel & place in warm spot in room.

Allow dough to double – about 2 hours. Punch down, shape & place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Again, allow to double in size – about 1 hour. Place bread in pie plate sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees in preheated oven till golden brown – about 45 minutes of waiting. Entire loaf contains about 1,300 calories.

This bread is very dense, very well-packed, very brick-like. It travels well, but take care with the teeth whilst feasting.

Take heed when mixing in the oats, making sure that the horse & the mule are in the lowly stable, else they may’st be tempted to eat the oats before they can be added to the tasty bread recipe.
