Ingredients

Directions

  1. Italian bread( hand or possibly abm)
  2. Note: I did use the machine dough cycle.
  3. If you have a bread machine place ingredients in order as machine instructs for dough cycle, adjusting water/flour ratio to get a smooth pliable dough . If you choose the hand method, do the same adjusting flour/water ratio to create a smooth elastic dough , hand kneading about 8 to 10 min .
  4. When abm dough or possibly hand made dough is done, let the dough rise double covered in a hot bowl in a hot place. Punch down, knead briefly and divide dough in half for 2 loaves. Hand form into two torpedo shaped loaves. If you have the metal bread tubular forms for french types bread use which to let the loaves rise double in.Otherwise shape the loaves less wide and place on cornmeal lined baking sheets to rise. Slash the dough deeply in 3 places across the top prior to rising, brush or possibly spray with water and sprinkle on seseme seeds. When the bread is puffy, bake in a preheated 450 degree oven about 30 min or possibly golden brown. Spritz with water at intervals the first 15 min of baking. For the crispest crust, place on preheated baking stones if possible. When done, remove bread to racks to cold. Let cold to room temperature prior to slicing for the garlic bread spread.
  5. Garlic bread spread: Mix all into a smooth paste. Cover and chill any leftovers. The spread is also great to mix into warm pasta!
  6. Slice cooled loaves in half. Spread garlic mix proportionately on top and bottom of loaves. Place pcs together to reform loaf. Wrap in foil. Place in 350F oven to heat 20 min. To get a real crisp crust, partially open the tops of the foil covered bread while reheating.
