Make two beautiful egg-washed loaves of bread with yeast, brown sugar, and olive oil in a bread machine, baked on a stone.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups unbleached flour
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1.3333300352097 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions:
  • Add the flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil, and yeast in the bread machine pan following the manufacturer's recommended order. Choose the dough cycle and press Start.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with a pizza stone inside, ensuring it preheats for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • After deflating the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into 2 loaves and place them seam-side down on a cutting board dusted with cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and allow them to rise until doubled in volume, approximately 40 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon of water until fully combined. Brush the risen loaves with the egg mixture. Use a sharp knife to make a single long, swift cut down the center of each loaf. Shake the cutting board gently to ensure the loaves are not stuck, and if they are, carefully loosen them with a spatula or pastry knife. Transfer the loaves onto the hot pizza stone in one smooth motion.
  • Bake until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven.
