Introduction

I know what you're thinking - who makes a fresh loaf of bread just to let it stale into crostini bases?? Well, I was actually looking for a simple, fast-mixing bread for a (forthcoming) pasta dish requiring toasted bread chunks, and I wanted something with a ton of flavour! I wasn't disappointed, and though I wouldn't reccommend making sandwiches with this (the loaf, at any rate, is tiny!) croutons, bruschetta, crostini or even panzanella salad are perfect uses! Serving size is for crostini rounds. I know what you're thinking - who makes a fresh loaf of bread just to let it stale into crostini bases??

Ingredients

    1 cup flour
    1/2 cup ww flour
    1/4 cup coarse cornmeal
    2 tbsp flax seeds
    2 tbsp poppy seeds
    1/4 tsp salt
    3/4 cup warm water

Directions

In a bowl, combine flours, cornmeal, flax seeds, poppy seeds and salt. Set aside.
Mix water and yeast in a large, deep bowl. Allow to stand 10 minutes.
Beat the flour mixture into the yeasted water to form a stiff, smooth dough.
Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise 1 hour.

Cover again and allow to rise 45 minutes.
