You know that yummy Italian bread you get in the supermarket? The
fat, golden, sesame-seed-sprinkled loaf? Yes, you CAN make it at
home. Here's how.
Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup,
then sweeping off any excess. In a large bowl, stir together all of
the dough ingredients till cohesive. Knead the dough for 5 to 8
minutes, until it's smooth and supple, adding more water or flour as needed.
Cover the dough and allow it to rise for 1 hour, or until it's doubled in bulk.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface and divide it
into two pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth 16" log. Place the
logs into the two wells of a lightly greased Italian bread pan,
cover, and let the loaves rise until very puffy, about 1 hour.
Brush the loaves with the egg wash, then sprinkle heavily with sesame
seeds. Slash the loaves diagonally, making 3 slashes in each, and
immediately put them in the oven. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for
about 25 minutes, until the loaves are golden brown. For the
crispiest crust, turn off the oven, prop the door open, and allow the
bread to cool in the oven.
Tips for using your Italian bread pan: Before using for the first
time, wash your new pan in hot, soapy water; rinse and dry. To clean
after use, place the cooled pan in the dishwasher, or wash by hand
using a non-abrasive pad in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
completely. Scouring with metal pads, steel wool or abrasive cleaners
will damage the pan's surface. This pan will gradually darken with
use over time. This is normal, and will enhance the quality of the
products you bake in it.
To bake the loaves without a pan, shape, and place them on a lightly
greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough room between
them for expansion. Continue with the recipe as directed.
