Greeks love bread. You can find so many forms, ingredients, and flavors in hundreds of types of bread all over the country. A staple on all tables, bread is a key accompaniment to Greek meals. Made from wholesome ingredients and a hint of honey, one of the most beloved Greek loaves of bread is the horiatiko psomi—χωριάτικο ψωμί, pronounced hoh-ree-AH-tee-koh psoh-MEE—which is perfect as a side for soups and stews, as it's dense and perfect for picking up the juices of saucy preparations. Although it's best when left to prove overnight, our version can be made with just a three-hour rise. Fresh yeast and high protein flour are recommended to achieve the chewy texture.
