ITALIAN SEMOLINA BREAD Makes 1 round loaf
This is such a wonderful bread, but the only way you will know that is to bake it imme-
diately. The crust is crisp and crackly; the interior is moist and close textured. It is
perfect. The aroma drives me wild; it smells like a field of fresh grain. This is what
country bread was meant to be—a plain bread with gigantic character. So eat it with
dinner, with meat and cheese, or just dip it in olive oil and enjoy.

Place all the dough ingredients in the pan according to the order in the manufac-
turer’s instructions, adding the starter and yeast with the water. Program for the
Dough cycle; press Start. The dough will be smooth, slightly moist and sticky,
and a bit soft. Don’t be tempted to add more flour. When the machine beeps at the
end of the cycle, press Stop and unplug the machine. Gently deflate the dough
with your finger. Set a kitchen timer and let the dough rest another hour in the
warm environment of the machine.
