Recipe : Semolina Bread

Although it may seem a strange thing to do, be sure to spray the bread and the inside of
the oven with water--it's the secret to a crisp crust. Semolina, a coarsely ground wheat
flour, is available at health food and Italian specialty food stores.

Makes 14 servings

1/4 ounce active-dry yeast (1 envelope)
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup + 1 tablespoon warm water (105-115o F)
2 cups + 1 tablespoon bread flour
1 cup semolina flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

In a small bowl, stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water; let stand 10 minutes,
until foamy.
In a food processor, combine 2 cups of the bread flour, the semolina flour and
salt. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and oil. Pulse until the
dough gathers into a ball; process 40 seconds more to knead.
Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray; place the dough in the bowl,
turning to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a
warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
Sprinkle a baking sheet with the cornmeal; set aside. Sprinkle a work surface
with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Punch down the dough; turn out the dough
onto the prepared work surface and knead briefly. Roll into a 2" rope. Coil the
rope into an inverted "S" shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover
loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until it
doubles in volume, 1-1 1/2 hours.
Arrange the oven racks to divide the oven in half. Preheat the oven to 425o F.
Spray the loaf with water and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Place on middle
rack in the oven. Spray the walls of the oven with water and close the oven door.
After 30 seconds, spray the walls of the oven again. Bake 30 minutes, until the
crust is golden and an instant-read thermometer reaches 200-210o F. Remove the
bread from the baking sheet and cool slightly on a wire rack; cut into 14 equal
slices.
