- Is it hard to make one of those breads you can usually only get at a good, pricey restaurant? As it turns out, not at all. Monastery bread takes time rather than skill — at least that's how a chef from an upscale restaurant explained it on TV, and when I tried baking it by this old recipe, I was genuinely surprised it came out so well. The main thing is not to get the proportions wrong. First I make a dry blend of several kinds of flour. Then I start the sponge, which I leave in a warm spot for a full twelve hours. I soak the whole grains in boiling water and the flax seeds separately in room-temperature water, letting the grains soak for about ten hours. Then I knead a fairly sticky dough and let it rise for an hour and a half in an oiled pot. I shape it roughly into a loaf and coat it in the seeds and flax. I transfer the loaf to a pan and bake it in an oven preheated to 410°F (210°C) for about three-quarters of an hour, maybe a touch more. Beautiful and delicious, all in one loaf. I like to serve monastery bread with something special on the side — spicy roasted pork belly, for instance.
