Rustic Italian Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm Water
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil (#280398)
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour (#100200)
- 2 tsp Granulated Sugar (#110650)
- 3/4 tsp Salt (#110600)
- 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast (#110400)
- Cornmeal, for baking sheet (#110050)
- 1 Egg White, slightly beaten
Directions
- Add flour, oil, salt, sugar, yeast and water to your mixer. Set on dough setting. Dough should be in a nice, round, sticky-to-the-touch ball. If it is not, add more water, or add flour – whichever is needed.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet. Punch dough down and form into a long or oval loaf.
- Cover and let rise for 25 more minutes. It should be doubled again by this time.
- Uncover and slash the top with a sharp knife or razor. Brush all over with beaten egg white.
- Bake 25 to 35 minutes, until hollow sounding when tapped on bottom.
- Cool.
