Mount Athos bread


Ingredients:
1 pound whole-wheat flour | 2 pounds white flour | Yeast (fresh yeast 1.5 tsp) | salt 2 1/2 teaspoons | lukewarm water as getting.

Instructions:
Overnight "grab" the yeast in some lukewarm water and flour (to be like porridge) in a bowl, which cover with a clean towel and leave in a warm place to rise. In the morning, sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in center and pour in batter with yeast. (If you make bread with yeast, you do not have to prepare  overnight. Just dissolve the yeast in some lukewarm water and add   flour). Add the corresponding basin of lukewarm water, in which we dissolve the salt and knead well until it becomes a medium dough untill does not stick  the dough to your hands. Split the dough oiled molds, which we put in a warm place covered with clean towel. When the dough doubles in size is ready for the oven. Carve with a sharp knife the surface and bake in the oven for about an hour.
