Peasant Bread

This bread is so easy and fool proof. If I am feeding a crowd I double it and it make 4 loaves.

1 pkg dry yeast (2 tsp.)

2 cups warm water

1 T sugar

2 t salt

4 cups flour 

oil (I use olive oil)

corn meal

2 T melted butter

Place yeast, water, sugar and salt in warm bowl. Stir until dissolved.  Add flour, stir until blended.  Do not knead.  Cover, let rise 1 hour or until doubles in size (in a warm spot). 

Flour hands.  Separate dough into 2 balls on a floured board.

Oil the cookie sheet, and sprinkle with cornmeal.  Place dough on sheet.  Let rise 1 hour.  Pour melted butter on top of balls. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 375 and bake for 15 minutes more.
