This recipe is from Ina Garten.
Definitely one of my favorite breads. Skip lots of steps by making in a breadmaker and let it do its initial rise in the machine. Then shape, let rise and finish up.
I found this recipe in one of my Mom’s old books. It is from Sunset Cookbook of Breads
I prefer to make it in a bread machine on the dough cycle and let the machine do the kneading.
Hodgson Mill’s recipe
Toasted bread with garlic and olive oil.
Mom would bake her loaves in anything that was oven proof (except the cases when used one of her Village Bakery helpers): terracotta pots, frying pans, dutch ovens, tin coffee cans are the ones I remember most! Wonderful memories with the smells...
