This is one of those recipes that you can taste with your imagination! I haven't made it yet, but I will soon. I just know it is going to be really yummy with my next Italian dinner!
You could do standard loaves, or a free-form round or oval, or elongate.
06Let bread rise until double in bulk, covered.
07For a nice touch, lightly beat 1 egg white with 1 Tbsp water and brush top of loaf with this egg wash, and then sprinkle with fresh Parmesan, finely shredded.
08Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of loaves.
09NOTE: Roasted garlic could be used, in which case I would increase the amount because it is milder in flavor.
