    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4           cups  semolina flour -- (7/8 oz)
       1/2           cup  All-purpose flour -- King Arthur 
Unbleached, (2 1/2 oz),plus
    2        tablespoons  All-purpose flour -- unbleached
    1 1/2      teaspoons  yeast -- instant
    1           teaspoon  salt
    1         tablespoon  sugar
       3/4           cup  water -- room temp, (6 oz)
    1         tablespoon  extra virgin olive oil
                          For Topping the Shaped Loaf:
    1                     egg white -- beaten
                          Sesame seeds -- for topping

Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your bread machine 
in the order recommended by the manufacturer.  Program for dough or 
manual cycle and press start.  Check the dough's consistency about 7 
min after the kneading cycle begins, adding additional water or flour 
to form a soft, smooth ball of dough.

When the cycle is complete, turn the dough out and divide it into six 
equal pieces.

Round each piece into a ball and shape each into an oval "finger" 
about 6" long.  Place the long sides on the ovals side-by-side about 
3/4" apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Cover with greased 
plastic and let the loaf rise in a warm place for about 45 min, or 
until the dough fingers have ex[panded enough to tough one another.

Brush the risen loaves gently with the beaten egg white and sprinkle 
with the sesame seeds.

Bake in the center of a preheated 375F oven until the bread is 
golden, about 25 - 30 min.  Remove from the oven.

Cool on a rack before slicing.

Yield:  6 sm loaves

NOTES : I have found a recipe that is a near match to the bread I 
remember at Virgilio's.  It's not quite the same, but it will do when 
a long car ride to the ocean isn't in the plans.  Robyn
