Ingredients
⅔cupof warm water
¾tspolive oil
¾tspsalt
1 ½tspbrown sugar
2cupsof flour
1 ⅛tspyeast
2heads of roasted garlic
Cornmeal
1egg + 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Place the water, olive oil, salt, brown sugar, flour, and yeast into a bread machine pan in that order. Turn the bread machine to the dough setting and push start.
Prepare the roasted garlic (click for instructions) while the dough is in the bread maker.
Once the dough cycle has been completed (mine lasts 1 1/2 hours). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle, then place the roasted garlic cloves all over the dough.
Roll up jelly-roll style and pinch the seam closed very well. Place the loaf onto a silpat mat sprinkled with cornmeal.
Cover with a cloth and let rise, until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine the egg with the water and beat until thoroughly mixed. Brush the egg mixture on the top of the loaf. Carefully slice a long single cut down the center of the loaf with a very sharp knife. Place the silpat mat onto a baking sheet.
Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
