Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a smaller bowl, mix warm water, maple syrup, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly sprayed bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the red pepper spread. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 7

Slice the red bell peppers in half, remove seeds, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet.

Step 8

Spray the peppers with olive oil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until skins are charred.

Step 10

Peel skins off the roasted peppers and place the flesh into a food processor.

Step 11

Add garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper to the processor and blend until smooth.

Step 12

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan.

Step 13

Cover and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 14

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the loaf for 35 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
