Directions:
- Proof yeast in 1/4 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar about 10 minutes.
- Add to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (which I prefer over a dough hook).
- Add 2 cups of warm water and mix at lowest speed.
- Alternate AP flour with bread flour, one cup at a time and mix.
- Increase mixer speed as needed.
- After adding 4 cups total flour (AP+bread), add the salt.
- Add the rest of the flour and mix.
- Dough should be pretty sticky.
- Stop the mixer and pull up paddle.
- If dough develops a nice window over the paddle, then it's ready.
- If not, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix.
- Stop mixer and pull paddle attachment, checking again for the window .
- Once you get a window, stop mixing.
- If you overmix, let dough rest a bit.
- Onto a floured board, dump this sticky dough and shape into a ball.
- Place dough ball into a well-oiled large pan.
- You can use a small amount of oil on the top of the loaf and place into a cold oven.
- I place a small loafpan of boiling water into the cold oven, near the loaf.
- This creates a humid atmosphere for the bread- a steam box.
- Keep the door closed until the ball doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- After doubling, remove dough from pan and cut into 2 balls.
- Place each on a good sized baking pan and shape each ball into an Italian loaf.
- Heat oven to 425 F, keeping the water-filled loafpan in the oven.
- Allow shaped loaves to rest about 30-45 minutes.
- Bake about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven.
- Spread (not dump) your favorite miranara sauce over each half-loaf of bread.
- Cover with splotches of mozzarella cheese slices.
- Add fresh oregano and/or basil and bake until cheese begins to brown.
- This is a super snack for picky kids.
