INGREDIENTS FOR BEST CRUSTY ITALIAN BREAD

- 1/2 TSP of brown sugar
- 1/2 TSP of salt
- One and half tbs of olive oil
- 4 Cup of flour.
GUIDELINES FOR BEST CRUSTY ITALIAN BREAD
Step 1:
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and brown sugar. When it begins to bubble and foam a little, stir and let stand for a few minutes.
Step 2:
Add salt and olive oil. Gradually add the flour while mixing.
Step 3:
You should add enough such that the dough separates from the bowl’s sides. For a few minutes, you should mix it with the dough hook.
Step 4:
Cover and wait for the dough to rise for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled.
Step 5:
Pinch down the dough, divide it in half, and shape it into two loaves (this time, I doubled the recipe).
Step 6:
COVER AND LET RISE UNTIL DOUBLED WITH A DAMP CLOTH.
step 7;
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees in.
- “BEAT TOGETHER:”
- One egg
- one tablespoon of water
Step 8:
- USE THE EGG TO BRUSH THE RISEN LOAVES
- Using a sharp knife, make a single, long, quick cut along the middle of each loaf.
Step 9:
THIS IS THE SECRET NOW. Underneath the bread, place a shallow pan with at least one cup of hot water on the rack. The perfect turn will be made by the steam. DURING COOKING, YOU MIGHT NEED TO ADD A BIT MORE WATER. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO Evaporate.
Step 10:
Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and has a hollow sound when tapped.
Finally, take the pan out and let it to cool on the racks.Savour every meal!
