Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Whole wheat flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 10 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 2 large Red bell pepper
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 15 milliliters Olive oil (for spread)
- 5 grams Salt (for spread)
- 1 gram Black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
4. Mix until a soft dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a lightly oiled loaf pan.
8. Allow it to rise again for about 30 minutes.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. While the bread is baking, prepare the red pepper spread. Roast the red bell peppers over an open flame or in your oven until the skins are blackened.
11. Place the roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam. Then peel off the blackened skins and remove seeds.
12. In a blender, add roasted peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil for the spread, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend until smooth.
13. Once the bread is done, remove it from the loaf pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
14. Serve the bread sliced with a generous spread of red pepper spread.
