   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2               cups  Bread Flour -- 240g
   1                cup  Semolina Flour -- 163g
   1 1/8            cup  lukewarm water -- 255g
   1         tablespoon  garlic oil -- or olive oil
   1 1/4      teaspoons  salt -- 8g
   2        tablespoons  nonfat dry milk -- 14g
   1 1/2      teaspoons  instant yeast
                         seed mixture -- for topping

This light-textured loaf with crunchy crust is perfect to serve with 
soup or stew.

Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, 
then sweeping off any excess. Combine all of the bread ingredients, 
mixing and kneading to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with 
plastic wrap or your favorite reusable wrap, and set it aside to rise 
for 1 hour; it should just about double in bulk.

Lightly grease the bottom part of a long covered stoneware baker, 
about 14 1/2" x 5". (For other pan options see "tips," below.) 
Sprinkle it with cornmeal or semolina.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and form it 
into a smooth 13" log.

Place the log in the pan, brush the top with water, and sprinkle with 
your favorite seeds.

Cover the pan with its lid, and let the dough rise for 45 to 60 
minutes. Check it occasionally to see where it's at; when ready to 
bake, it should have started to fill the pan side to side, and 
crowned about 1" over the rim.

Just before putting the loaf into the oven, slash the top several 
times, if desired. Hold your knife at a 45 angle to the dough's 
surface, and slice quickly and decisively, about 1/2" deep.

Place the pan in a cold oven, and set the oven temperature to 425F. 
Bake the bread for 30 minutes, remove the lid from the pan, and bake 
an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and 
its interior temperature measures 190F on a digital thermometer.

Remove the bread from the pan, and allow it to cool on a rack. Store 
any leftovers, wrapped in plastic or your favorite reusable wrap, at 
room temperature.

To bake in a standard 8.5" x 4.5" loaf pan, simply shape the dough 
into an 8" log, place it into the lightly-greased pan, and top it 
with seeds. Let the loaf rest for 45 to 60 minutes. Preheat the oven 
to 375F 20 minutes before you're ready to bake. Slash the loaf, if 
desired, then bake it for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a 
digital thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 190F.

This loaf is a perfect candidate for garlic bread. Spread your 
topping on thick slices and bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5 
minutes or until just becoming golden.
