Rustic Granny White

Ingredients:
2 lbs flour
3/4 ounce dry yeast
3 cups luke warm water
3 tsp salt

Directions:
Dissolve the yeast in the 1/8 of the water and mix. In a different
bowl mix the flour and the salt. Add the dissolved yeast and the
rest of the water. Mix everything and knead till you have a smooth
dough (10−15 minutes). Form a ball with the dough, strew some
flour over it and let it rise for 1 hour on a cooking sheet covered
by a towel. Split it into equally parts and knead them just for
a short time.
Form two round flat loaves and put them on a cooking sheet, paint
them with lukewarm water and let rise again for 15−20 minutes in
a warm room. Bake them at 500F for 6−7 minutes and then turn down
the heat to 350F. Take them out after 20 minutes or when they are
browned nicely.
