Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Breads

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kg bread flour (35oz.)
630ml lukewarm water (21 oz.)
25g fresh yeast (0.8 oz.)
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsps olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp salt
thin semolina

Steps:

  • To prepare this easy Greek bread recipe, start by adding in a large bowl the water, yeast and sugar. Use a fork to completely dissolve the yeast in the water. Set aside for about 5 -10 minutes to activate the yeast. Note: if you don't have fresh yeast substitute for dried - just use one third of the quantity stated.
  • Add half the flour a little bit at time whilst mixing with a spoon. Add the olive oil and salt and the rest of the flour and mix with a spoon until all the flour has been absorbed. At this point the dough should be sticky on your hand.
  • Knead the dough a little bit with your hands until it's elastic and form into a ball. Place the dough inside a lightly oiled large bowl and cover with cling film.
  • Let the dough rise at room temperature for 10-12 hours (or overnight).
  • Deflate the dough. Sprinkle semolina on a large working surface and transfer the dough on the surface. Using a sharp knife divide the dough in 2 equal pieces. (This Greek Bread recipe makes 2 loafs of bread).
  • Knead each piece of the dough with your hands just enough to have a nice and smooth dough that doesn't stick too much on your hands (for about 3 minutes). Sprinkle the dough with semolina (2-3 tbsps) when kneading the dough.
  • Form 2 round loafs and place inside a casserole dish or clay pot with a lid. Score the top of each loaf using a sharp knife. Place the lid on the casserole dish.
  • Preheat the oven at 250C/ 480F. Bake for 20 minutes with the lid on and another 15 minutes or so with the lid removed, until nicely coloured and crusty.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h5m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon melted warm butter or 1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon fine semolina (durum flour; use masa harina or cornmeal in a pinch)
water

Steps:

  • Sift flour into a mixing bowl and place into a low oven to warm.
  • Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, then stir in remaining water, salt, and sugar.
  • Remove flour from oven; take 2 cups of flour from the bowl and set aside.
  • Make a well in the remaining flour and pour in the liquid; stir in a little of the flour until the liquid gets thick, then cover the bowl and leave in a warm place until the mixture is frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the rest of the flour into the liquid, and add the butter/oil gradually, beating with a wooden spoon or mixing with your hands until smooth (about 10 minutes), or alternatively, use a dough hook/mixer for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a little flour onto a board, and turn the dough out; gradually mix in some of the flour you had set aside earlier.
  • Only knead in enough to keep the dough from sticking; dough is ready when it is satiny, and the surface is slightly wrinkled; shape into a ball.
  • Oil the dough, and place in bowl, making sure the top side is oiled completely; cover bowl with plastic and allow to rise in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down and make into 2 pieces; turn onto floured surface, and form each into a torpedo-shape.
  • Grease baking sheet and sprinkle with semolina; place the dough well apart on the sheet and cut 4 diagonal slashes across the dough; cover with a cloth and allow to proof in a warm place until doubled again, about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place a dish of boiling water on the bottom of the oven; spray bread lightly with a mister and bake in preheated oven for approx 35-40 minutes; after first 15 minutes, mist again with water, then again 10 minutes later.
  • Cool on a rack when done.

HORIATIKO PSOMI: GREEK COUNTRY BREAD



Horiatiko Psomi: Greek Country Bread image

This recipe for traditional Greek country bread produces a dense bread with a thick crust, perfect for sopping up the delicious Greek sauces and dressings.

Provided by Nancy Gaifyllia

Categories     Side Dish     Bread

Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce fresh yeast, or 2 tablespoons active dry yeast, or 1/2 pound of sourdough starter
3 cups lukewarm water, divided
8 1/2 cups bread flour, divided
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water .
  • Slowly add 1/2 cup of flour and mix until all lumps of flour have dissolved to form a thick mixture. Allow it to rise about 15 to 20 minutes.​ If using a sourdough starter, make a sponge with 1/2 pound of starter, 1/2 cup of lukewarm water, and 1/2 cup of flour, allowing it to rise for 2 hours.
  • Sift the remaining flour with the salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, and add the milk, oil, honey, yeast mixture or sourdough starter, and 2 cups of lukewarm water.
  • Pulling in the flour slowly, mix with your hands until you have 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 your hands.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and roll until all sides are greased. Cover the bowl with 3 dishtowels: first one dry, one dampened with warm water on top, and lastly one dry as well. Place in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Punch down and knead the dough for 5 to 6 minutes on a floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 to 4 balls, and form into your preferred shape.
  • Place the loaves several inches apart on top of an ungreased cookie sheet and cover with the 3 dishtowels as before-dry, damp, dry. Keep the loaves in a warm place and allow proving for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 F/220 C.​ Score the tops of the loaves in 3 or 4 places. Bake on the rack just below the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until browned. When ready, if tapped on the bottom, the bread should sound hollow.
  • Remove from oven and cool on racks. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy.

HORIATIKO PSOMI: CRUSTY COUNTRY BREAD



Horiatiko Psomi: Crusty Country Bread image

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.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h50m

Yield 3-4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons dry yeast
1/2 cup water, lukwarm
1/2 cup flour (whatever type used for bread)
8 cups bread flour (whole wheat, barley, white, corn, or other)
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups water, lukewarm
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey

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.
