Ingredients:
1 kilo of whole-wheat flour
2 kilos white flour
Yeast or fresh yeast 1.5 tsp
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
Lukewarm water (as much as it needs)
Instructions:
From the previous night, put in a bowl the yeast and some lukewarm water and flour, so it will be like porridge. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and leave it in a warm place to rise. In the morning, sift the flour into a bowl, make a hole in center and pour inside the broth with the yeast. If you make bread with fresh yeast, you do not have to prepare it overnight. Just dissolve the yeast in some lukewarm water and add flour. Add the appropriate amount of lukewarm water in the basin, in which you have dissolved the salt and knead well until it becomes a medium dough. The dough should not stick to your hands. Split the dough in oiled molds and put them in a warm place, covered with a clean towel. When the dough doubles in size, it is ready for the oven. Carve with a sharp knife the surface and bake in the oven for about an hour.
