If San Francisco gets an award for the best sourdough bread in the
US, New York should get it for the best Italian bread. It seems to
have consistently some of the best bread available in the country.
The ovens are part of it; they're brick. But no small part is the
demand, if not the desire, for really good bread. To get close to
those great New York breads, try the following.
Put all ingredients except the topping in the machine, and set it on
the dough cycle. When the beeper sounds, remove the dough from the
pan and put it into a bowl in the refrigerator to chill and rest for
about 15 minutes.
Heat the oven to 400F (205C). Remove the dough to a lightly floured
surface. Roll the dough to a 10 x 14" oblong; then fold the long
sides over into a log-shaped loaf. Pinch the seams and ends closed.
On a baking sheet, sprinkle cornmeal. Set the loaf on it, seam-side
down. Sprinkle water on top. Let it rise in a warm place until nearly
doubled in bulk.
Brush with egg wash made of 1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons of water.
Sprinkle the top with sesame seeds. With a sharp knife, make 4
diagonal cuts, about 1/4" deep, across the top.
Bake in a 400F (205C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden. During
the last 5 minutes, spray water in the oven.
When done remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
