Recipe for Vienna Bread

I make my own bread and usually I go for the classic brown bread. Today I felt like making something different, so I decided to bake Vienna bread.

The Vienna bread was first produced in Vienna, Austria in the 19th century. It is a crusty bread made from flour, yeast, water and salt and it is a perfect accompaniment to soups or meat and fish dishes.

Vienna bread is simple to make and it doesn't require any special ingredients. Here is my recipe for one medium size loaf.
