Directions for Crusty Whole Wheat Italian Bread Recipe
----ForBread Machine----. Add all ingredients except cornmeal to bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Select dough cycle and start machine. ----ConventionalMethod----. In large bowl, dissolve yeast, brown sugar, and ginger in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until yeast foams. Add salt and bread flour; beat well. Stir in whole wheat flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead 10 minutes or until dough is springy, smooth and satiny. Wash bowl, grease it, and add dough to bowl; turn over to grease top. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. ----Shapingand Baking----. Lightly oil or grease a 14x17" baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal; set aside. Punch down the dough. Divide in half and, on a lightly floured surface, shape into long loaves, rolling each piece first into a 5x12" rectangle, then rolling each up along the long side to make a long, narrow loaf. Pinch edges to seal, and taper ends. Place loaves, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Make 4-5 slashes across each loaf with sharp knife or razor blade. Brush each loaf with water and sprinkle with whole wheat flour. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes, until loaves are browned and crisp. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. NOTE: I also use a spray bottle filled with water and spray the loaves and oven walls once or twice at 5-minute intervals at the beginning of baking. You could also make this into one large oblong loaf or a round loaf, but baking time would need to be increased.
