HORIATIKO PSOMI: CRUSTY COUNTRY BREAD
In villages around Greece, this classic bread is still baked in outdoor wood-burning ovens. This bread is more dense than other types of bread (the loaf at right measures about 13 inches across and weighs a little more than 2 pounds) and can be made with a variety of flours or a combination of more than one. If you have your own sourdough starter, use 1/2 pound (slightly less than one cup for most starters) in place of the yeast in the recipe. I got this recipe on-line for the ZWT Greece from About.com.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Slowly add the 1/2 cup of flour and mix until all lumps of flour have dissolved, to form a thick liquid. Allow to rise about 15-20 minutes.
- Sift the remaining flour with the salt, put in a large mixing bowl, and make a well in the center. Add oil, honey, milk, yeast mixture (or sourdough starter), and 2 cups of the water in the well. Pulling in the flour slowly, mix with hands until it's a cohesive mass. (If more water is needed, add in small amounts from the remaining 1/2 cup.) Turn out onto a floured surface and continue kneading until the dough is nice and smooth and no longer sticks to the hands.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and roll until all sides of the dough are lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with 3 dishtowels: one dry, one dampened with warm water (wet towel and wring out), and the other dry. Place in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Punch down and knead for 5-6 minutes on a floured surface. Divide the dough into the number of loaves you want to make (this works well in 3-4 loaves), and form into round or oblong or baguette shaped loaves. Place several inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets and cover with 3 clean dishtowels (the middle one damp). In a warm place, allow the loaves to rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450F (220C).
- For a thicker crust, score the tops of the loaves in 3 or 4 places (see photo). Otherwise, bake as is on the rack just below the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes until browned. When tapped on the bottom, bread will sound hollow.
- When the loaves are done, remove from oven and cool on racks.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, milk, sugar, 1/4 cup semolina flour, whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup bread flour.
- Whisk until creamy and smooth.

- Place dough in a large bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a paddle.
- Add remaining yeast, water, salt, butter and 1 cup bread flour.
- Beat at medium speed 3 minutes, or until smooth.
- Add remaining flour at low speed, 1/2 cup at a time, until soft dough is formed.
- Dough will just clear sides of bowl.
- (Process can also be done by hand in a large bowl.) Switch to a dough hook and continue mixing about 3 to 4 minutes, adding flour 1 Tablespoon at a time.
- (If kneading by hand, turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead 5 to 7 minutes, adding flour 1 Tablespoon at a time as necessary.) Dough should barely hold its shape.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until tripled, about 2 hours.
- Gently deflate dough, turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a round ball or oblong loaf.
- Roll lightly in flour and place on a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina flour.
- (Or, place dough in a greased 12" x 5" x 3 1/2" loaf pan.) Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 475° for at least 30 minutes.
- Make a slit in top of loaf with a serrated knife.
- Bake at 475° for 10 minutes, 400° for 15 minutes, and 325° for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Loaf is done when slightly domed and browned.
- Cool on a rack.
- Makes 1 large loaf.
- Note: Dough can also be shaped into flatbread, breadsticks or rolls.
