Enjoy fresh homemade Italian bread without special equipment or techniques. No kneading is required and a handful of ingredients gives you the perfect delicious healthy whole wheat crusty bread.
in a large mixing bowl add flours, salt and sugar and mix well. after 8 minutes, mix the yeast with a fork and then add it to the flour mixture, mixing it in with a fork until it gets sticky. add the additional cup of warm water a little at a time until the dough starts to form a ball (Note: you may not use all of the water). If the dough seems sticky then add a little bit of flour and start forming a bowl with your hands until it gets a smooth elastic feel.
after it rises take the ball of dough out and pat it down, form into a ball again and place it back into the bowl to let it rise again.
line a baking tray with unbleached parchment paper, place your dough on top and start to form it into an oval-shape with rounded ends.
