How to Make Rustic Italian Bread Abm
- In your bread machine, combine 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 1/2 cups (355ml) warm water. Follow your bread machine's instructions for adding ingredients.
- Select the dough setting on your bread machine.
- Monitor the dough during mixing. Open the bread machine to check on the dough's consistency according to your machine's instructions.
- The dough should form a soft, slightly sticky ball.
- If the dough is too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time. If it's too wet, add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Remove the dough from the bread machine once the cycle is complete.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly dust a baking sheet with cornmeal or cornflour.
- Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a long oval loaf.
- Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 25 minutes in a draft-free area.
- The dough should almost double in size.
- Uncover the loaf and score the top with a sharp knife or lame, making several 1/2-inch deep slashes.
- Brush the entire loaf with a beaten egg white.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Use a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
