French Peasant Bread Recipe



This is something that my husband and I love to bake! Sometimes we had raw (crushed) sunflower seeds to the dough. Thanks to my Aunt Alliene, I have this recipe...but I did make a few changes to it...shhh--don't tell her!

Ingredients

1 pkg. dry yeast (or 2 1/4 t.)
1 T. brown sugar
4 c. whole wheat flour
cornmeal
2 c. warm water
2 t. salt
olive oil cooking spray
melted butter
1/4 - 1/2 c. raw (crushed) sunflower seeds (optional)

Directions

Place yeast, water, sugar and salt in a warm bowl and stir till dissolved. Add flour and stir until blended. Do not knead. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise one hour or until doubled in size. Flour hands, remove dough from the bowl and place in 2 rounds on an oiled cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Let rise an additional hour. Brush the top of dough mounds with melted butter and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and cook an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush again with butter. Serve warm.
