Well Dined | Seeded Peasant Bread

I have been trying to make bread for years.  I have tried so many different recipes, and never been happy with any of them.  Until Melissa introduced to to this recipe from Alexandra’s Kitchen, that is.  It’s so ridiculously easy – there’s no kneading, just mixing and rising – and the texture is amazing.  I’m seriously obsessed with it.
