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.
