Transylvania Peasant Bread
Transylvania Peasant Bread is a traditional Romanian bread that is rustic and hearty, typically made with simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt. It has a dense texture, chewy crust, and a delicious flavor. It’s a staple in many households in the Transylvania region and is often enjoyed with soups, stews, or just on its own with a bit of butter.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make a few shallow slashes on top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
