French Peasant Bread

1 package dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp.)

2 Cups warm water

1 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. salt

4 Cups flour

Oil

Corn meal

Melted butter

Oregano (and thyme? Or basil?…I probably added thyme. Yum)

Place yeast, water, sugar and salt in warm bowl and stir until dissolved. Add flour and stir until blended. Do not knead. Cover and let rise one hour or until doubled in size. Remove dough from the bowl and place in 2 rounds on an oiled cookie sheet sprinkled with corn meal. Let rise an additional hour. Brush the top with melted butter and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temp. to 375 degrees and cook an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush again with butter. Serve hot out of the oven.

This bread has also been dubbed as the "Macaroni Grill Bread"- if you've been to the restaurant you know what that means....this bread is delish!

(Or just brush with butter before and put on seasoning on and then bake)
