Peasant Bread

 Michelle found this recipe at Yummy Healthy Easy and it certainly is all three.  She makes it frequently to add to her meals.  It is delicious.

Peasant Bread
2 1/4 tsp. dry yeast ( 1 package)
2 cups warm water
1 T. sugar
2 tsp. salt
4 cups flour 
1 egg white or melted butter for topping
Garlic Salt
Mix the water and yeast and let sit for 10 minutes
In a large bowl, mix the sugar, salt, and flour.  Add the yeast mixture.  Mix all together, but you don't need to knead the dough.  Let it rise until double.  Split into two equal parts and form into 2 rounds.  Place on a greased cookie sheet.  Let rise again until double.  Preheat the oven to  425.  Brush the tops of the bread with egg white or melted butter.  Sprinkle generously with garlic salt.  Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 and bake for 15 more minutes or until golden brown.  You can slice it or tear off chunks for dipping in olive oil and seasonings.
