Dough: Fennel and Black Pepper Bread

The book this recipe is from is called 'Superfoods 300 Recipes for Foods that Heal Body and Mind'. This is a random book for me to own and the story of how I came to own it is pretty random as well. My husband and I went for a picnic on Toronto's Island and came across this semi-permanent structure that individuals had placed all their unwanted household and clothing items. It was a free community exchange of goods. This book was one of the items. I have yet to make anything else from this book, but this fennel and black pepper bread is wonderfully spicy! It would be perfect on a cold winter evening with a bowl of thick, soul-warming stew.
