Butt Bread |
|
Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (I used bread flour with great results)
1 tablespoon honey or sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/8 cups warm water (110*F/45*C)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Water for brushing
1 egg white mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon cornmeal
|
|
Directions: |
Directions:For a crunchier crust if you bake this bread early in the day, pop the bread in a 425*F oven for about 5 minutes just before serving.
Place the first 6 ingredients into your bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle. Remove dough and divide, form into a round or oblong loaf. Sprinkle cornmeal onto a well-greased baking sheet. Place loaf on pan seam side down. Brush top of loaf with water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise in a warm draft- free place until doubled in size, about 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°. Brush loaf with egg wash mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Make 4 deep slashes with a razor blade or very sharp knife across the top of the dough, being careful not to tear and deflate the dough. (I think this is where I went astray, my knife wasn't sharp enough). Place a pan of hot water in bottom of oven. Bake on center rack of oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, turning the baking pan around after 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool the bread on wire racks. Makes 1 loaf. |

Notes: This is a great dip and a pretty good story too. Last winter for one of the fambly get togethers, I checked (where else) the board for some yummy recipes. Being the unrepentent show-off that I am, I decided to make my own bread for the "bowl". Because of a miscalculation, one of my loafs had a distinctly buttlike appearance. This is where perception comes in. If you turned the loaf the other way it looked like a heart. So we just decided that we love our butts and dug right in. Now whenever I ask what I can bring to the family event the answer is "bring the butt bread".
