Instructions: Most rustic types of bread consist of just flour, yeast, water and salt. I usually vary mine using a cracked wheat and also semolina flour. It seems to give the bread character. When I was under a Neurosurgeon, we were talking about sugars in the American diet and he said in Iran, the bread was made with out any sugars. I dont use a bread machine either. I bake mine on unglazeed quarry tiles and throw ice cubes in the bottom when I put the bread in.

Gives it a nice rustic flavor and appearance. Sunday I made Pizza using 3 cups unbleached white flour and 2 cups cracked wheat flour along with 2 pks yeast, 2 cup water and 1 tsp salt. (no fats-no sugar) Put veggies on the top, using fresh tomatoes. It made to large rounds. Again the only fat was the pam on the bottom and Pam on the top plus 1 Tbs. grating cheese for both pizzas. Worked out to be about 1/2 veggie and 2 bread for 2 slices. Tasted a heck of a lot better than some of the commercial pizzas.
