Excellent recipe. I actually made 5 small round loaves of bread and then hollowed each one out when they were cooked. Brushed inside of bread with olive oil and garlic mixture and cooked for another 15 minutes. I then used them as bread bowls for Potato Soup. Really easy recipe and everyone LOVED the bread bowls!

Very easy to follow recipe. Made this to go with some home made ham and potato soup for dinner. I read some of the other reviews advice about cutting the dough deep, although I think I cut mine loaves too deep! Never mind, sure they taste the same. Only thing I did different was to add a cup of water to the bottom of the oven to crisp up the crust.

This is a terrific recipe. I made two beautiful, delicious loaves. I put a pan of hot water in the bottom of my oven during the cooking time. If you're not sure they're cooked through, use your digital thermometer - it will read 200 degrees when they are ready to remove from the oven.

I made this tonight. It looks positively perfect. It was simple, did it in the breadmaker, took it out and moulded it into a loaf, sprinkled a parchment papered cookie sheet with corn meal, and placed the dough on top. It rose for about 1-1/2 hrs., I basted it with the eggwash, after I sliced it down the center, and I only made one large loaf. I did cook it for 35 mins., it was hollow sounding, just like the recipe said. I have eaten a slice (couldn't help myself), it is denser than an Italian loaf, but delicious nonetheless. It does soften up when it cools, doesn't stay rock hard on the outside like bakery bought loafs, but all in all, a wonderful replacement for store bought bread, you know how much fat is in it, and really what you are eating. I have had that breadmaker in my basement for a couple of years now, and while wandering through this website today I decided I had time (how easy is this), and so I made it. Just the two of us now, we eat less bread, because I'm not out shopping daily for groceries, so I must try other recipes, preferably ones with grains in them. Just wondering if there is a way to make this recipe into rolls. I may try.

I don't have a bread machine instead make it in my kitchen aid mixer. It comes out perfect every time. I also use it to make pepperoni rolls.

I have used this recipe over and over again it is just amazing every time. The first time I made this I was just bored and i love to bake and my two teenagers love to eat and have tons of friends that love to eat so I made this and they all loved it. But to my surprise my I ended up making 8 loaves and every single crumb was devoured in one day! Thank you for this recipe.

Wonderful bread! One reviewer mentioned bread not 'browning'. If using a really good quality olive oil, your bread will be closer to tan -- not a dark brown. Changing the flour will change the texture, but won't be that noticeable.

This was really, really good! I followed the recipe exactly and I don't see why people are suggesting that you use less salt, I thought it was perfect! And for some reason mine just wasn't browing, it cooked for closer to 50 mins so my crust came out really hard but it tasted great... everyone still ate every bit of it, even the crunchy crust. Next time I will try using half bread flour and half all purpose flour to see if there is a difference... and like others I made my cut on the top of the bread before baking but I guess it wasn't big enough and it closed back on itself... cut deep! I also let it rise the second time on my baking sheet lined w/ my Silpat, doing it on the cutting board is a wasted step. And even though I didn't need the cornmeal since nothing sticks to the Silpat I still used it and I'm glad I did... I LOVED the cornmeal on the bottem! I'll definatly be making this on a weekly basis! In fact I'm making this again tomorrow and making garlic bread out of it to go along w/ my meatballs and sauce. THANKS!!!

This recipe is great! Seeing that I'm cooking for 2, I cut the dough into thirds. After shaping into loaves, I wrapped two in plastic wrap and frooze them and cooked one for dinner to have with the meatballs I cooked earlier. Enjoy!

This was really good. I used 2 cups bread flour and 2 cups all purpose flour. I skipped the cornmeal. I made rolls and froze half before the second rise. These are great! Also good if you sprinkle some garlic powder on them before baking.

Mine looked nothing like the pic, the bread hardly rose, baked on a pizza stone. The split also caved in on my loaves... the taste was good, but not what I expected.

Very tasty. The crust was just the right amount of chewy. Mine sure don't look like Nandabear's picture but they had a great taste. I had to add a bit more water than called for so I wonder if that's why mine didn't raise like Nandas. Oh well.. I loved it still and will keep this in the bread rotation.

This was good and worked even when I did NOT follow directions...somehow I had it in mind that I was supposed to knead the dough again once I punched it down and prior to shaping it into loaves. Next time (and see...I do hope to go there again) I will try to do it right. Still, though, yum AND gorgeous!

After shaping, I let my loaves rest on an oiled baking sheet. I slitted the top before I let them rest. I covered them, and then left the house for a couple of hours. When I came back my loves were HUGE! I baked them and they came out perfect!! They look better than the ready made loaves from Publix..lol. Yippee! 5 stars!
