   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   250                g  bread flour -- or all-purpose (2C)
   1              pinch  sugar
   1                tsp  active dry yeast
   2               tbsp  milk -- 2%, lukewarm 105F/40C
   1               tbsp  olive oil
      1/2           cup  water -- lukewarm 105F/40C
   1                tsp  salt

In the bowl of the stand up mixer whisk together the flour, sugar and 
yeast, make a well in the middle and add the milk and oil, start to 
knead with the dough hook, add the water a little at a time and knead 
2 minutes (on speed #2), then add the salt and knead 3 minutes until 
the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Cover the mixing bowl 
with a damp towel and let rest 20 minutes, then knead again on speed 
#2 for 1 minute. Cover the bowl again and let rest 15 minutes. Knead 
again for 1 minute.

Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and knead for 30 
seconds and form into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, 
turning the dough to lightly cover in oil. Cover the bowl with 
plastic wrap and let rise for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in bulk 
in a warm draft free area.

Form the dough into a loaf (do not punch down), place on a parchment 
paper covered cookie sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and let 
rise 1 hour,.

Pre-heat oven to 400F (200 C). Place an oven safe pan in the bottom 
of the oven while the oven is pre-heating.

Score the loaf, pour a cup of very hot water in the pan, quickly put 
the loaf in the oven and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. 
Move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
