Steps:
- Place the water and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer and allow the yeast to bloom for about 5 minutes. Using a dough hook attachment, add the flour and sugar to the water and mix on low speed until a dough starts to form. Drizzle the oil and salt into the dough and beat on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a smooth, firm, elastic dough is formed.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and spray the dough with a thin coating of cooking spray. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to proof in a warm, draft-free place for 11/2 hours or until doubled in size. Remove the plastic wrap, punch down and flatten the rounded dough with the heel of your hand. Roll the dough up tightly, sealing the seam well after each roll. The dough should be elongated and oval-shaped, with tapered and rounded (not pointed) ends.
- Preheat the oven lined with a pizza stone to 425 degrees F. Alternately, an inverted baking sheet may be used in place of a pizza stone.
- Place the dough on a baker's peel heavily dusted with semolina flour, or cornmeal, or alternately on an inverted baking sheet. Allow the dough to proof, loosely covered with a damp towel, for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size. Brush the dough with the egg white and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top. Using a razor blade or sharp knife, score 3 (1/4-inch deep) slashes across the top of the dough at a 45 degree angle.
- Spray the dough generously with water from a water bottle and place in the oven on the baking stone. Immediately close the oven and bake for 3 minutes. Open the oven door and spray the dough again with the water bottle. Close the oven door and bake for an additional 3 minutes before spraying the dough for a third time (the spraying of the dough will ensure a crisp golden brown crust). Bake the dough for 45 minutes, or until a hollow thud is heard when the bread is whacked with the bowl of a wooden spoon. Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving.

ITALIAN BREAD
My family laughs at me when I tell them that this poor dough never has a change for an hour, but it makes up for all that punching down with its texture and good taste. My mother-in-law taught me how to make this bread...now the recipe's been passed down to my daughter and two granddaughters.

- Beat in the salt and then add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until as soft and smooth as a bambino's behind. Turn in a greased bowl, cover, and let double in size. (I put it in the oven with the light on - perfect rising temperature.)
- Once doubled, punch down and divide into three. Place back in the bowl, cover, and let rise.
- Once doubled again, punch down and form into three fat "footballs." Grease heavy cookie sheets and sprinkle with corn meal. Place the bread on the sheets, cover with a towel, and let rise.
- Once risen, mist with water and place in a preheated 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven. Mist loaves with water and turn occasionally while they bake. Bread is done when golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

- Cover dough with plastic wrap and then a towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- To make loaves: Divide dough in half.
- Roll each half into a 15x10 inch rectangle.
- Starting at wide side, roll up tightly; pinch seam to seal.
- Taper ends by rolling gently back and forth.
- To make rolls: Divide dough into 6 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rectangle 8x5 inches.
- Starting with wide side, roll up tightly; pinch seam to seal.
- Taper ends.

- **Note: I sometimes add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (adjust amounts to your preferences) of dried oregano OR basil OR rosemary to the dry ingredients.
- Sometimes I also add 1 bulb (head) of roasted garlic cloves to the dry ingredients.
- To roast garlic: Peel as much of the outer skin away as possible, leaving the cloves unpeeled and the head intact (optional: trim the tips of the cloves off to expose the"meat" to the oil).
- Place head (s) in covered casserole or on a piece of heavy aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with olive oil, and bake covered at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes (mine takes over an hour in a terra-cotta garlic baker), or until cloves are soft and can be squeezed easily out of their skins.
- Let roasted garlic cool before adding to the flour for the bread.

Steps:
- In large mixer bowl, combine 3 c of flour and the yeast.
- Combine the water and salt.
- Add to the dry mixture.
- Beat at low speed for 30 seconds, scrapping the sides constantly.
- Beat at high for 3 minutes.
- By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a very stiff dough.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and very elastic (15-25 minutes).
- Shape into a ball.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 hour).
- Punch down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Cover with the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll each half into a 15x12 inch rectangle.
- Beginning at the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough up tightly, sealing as you roll.
- Taper the ends of the loaf.
- Grease 2 baking sheets and sprinkle them each with cornmeal.
- Place each loaf diagonally seam side down, on baking sheets.
- Make diagonal cuts 2 ½ inches apart (1/8 to ¼ inch deep) on the tops of the loaves.
- Add tablespoon of water to the beaten egg white and brush over the top and sides of the loaves.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (about 20-45 minutes).
- When ready to bake, place a large shallow pan on the lower rack of the oven and fill with boiling water.
- Bake at 375° for 20 minutes, brush with the egg white mixture.
- Bake 20 minutes longer.
- Cool on a rack.
- Tips: Raising tip: In a cold oven, place the dough on the top rack.
- On the rack beneath, place a pan filled with very hot water then close the door.
- This will create a warm, draftless environment for raising your dough.
- Temp: be sure to use a thermometer to test the temp of the liquids before adding to the yeast.
- Temperature is very critical- too cold and the yeast won't activate, too hot and they die- either way the bread will not raise.

Steps:
- Combine warm water, yeast, oil and honey in a large bowl, let sit for 5 minutes then add the salt and egg. Stir all together.
