Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix the yeast and sugar in a measuring cup, that keeps it from getting lumpy, add the cup of warm water and stir together. let sit for 5 minute.
  2. Mix 2 cups flour and salt in a med sized bowl, then dump in yeast mix and stir until a soft dough forms.
  3. Kneed until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed. don't add so much flour that it becomes dry, it should still be slightly sticky.
  4. Rinse out the bowl and swirl the oil around in it, put the dough back in and turn it over so it's coated.
  5. Cover the bowl (i like to wrap a tea towel over and under it), and place in a warm (not hot!) oven to rise. i usually turn my oven on to the lowest setting that will turn on the element for 5 min and then turn off.
  6. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and form into a long, thin loaf. place on a cookie sheet that you've oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. slash diagonally with a sharp knife 3 or 4 times. place it back in your warm oven until it's doubled again.
  7. Turn the oven up to 375f for 20 minutes. my oven runs a little cool so i turn it up to closer to 380 or 390. a little too warm is better then a little to cool in this case. after 20 min it should be nicely golden on top. let it cool until no more then warm.
  8. In the mean time mix all ingredients of the garlic butter.
  9. Slice vertically into 3/4-1 inch slices, leaving the bottom crust intact. carefully pull slices apart so you can spread the butter on each side of each slice without breaking them apart.
  10. Wrap loosely but completely in foil and bake at 400f for 10-15 minutes. serve immediately.
