Free Form Bread



Here is the basic recipe, we have had fun adding all sorts of stuff, cloves of garlic halved, fresh chopped rosemary, kalamata olives halved, handful of asiago cheese, substitute 1/2 cup flour for freshly ground wheat flour, really whatever you can think of!
But i usually just make it as is:

1 package dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
4 cups flour
0il
corm meal
melted butter

Place yeast water and sugar in bowl stir until warm and let stand 2 mins. Add flour and stir until blended, do not knead. cover and let rise 1 hr or until double in size. Flour hands remove from bowl and place in two rounds on oiled baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal. let rise an additional hour. brush the top with melted butter being careful not to deflate. Bake at 425 for 10 mins. reduce oven heat to 375 and bake an additional 15 mins. remove from oven brush with butter and sprinkle with salt. serve warm.
