lukewarm water (90of to 100of), dry yeast or two 0.6-oz packages fresh yeast, crumbled, all purpose flour (i use king arthur bread flour), extra-virgin olive oil, coarse sea salt, note: i have found that adding anywhere from 1-2 tsp. of salt (table salt works just fine) to the flour while making the dough works as good or better than the coarse salt on top. it depends on your taste. i would suggest adding 1 tsp. of salt to the flour and maybe lightly adding the coarse salt before baking. or forgo the coarse salt altogether and add 1.5 tsp of salt to the flour for the dough. bread does needs salt to have a good taste., note 2: drizzle with olive oil before baking., note 3: you can knead with a little olive oil to keep from adding more flour and prevent dryness., add herbs of your choice and/or a grated favorite cheese. i have used rosemary, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, cracked black pepper, asiago, and parmesan in various combinations and it all worked out well.

mccormick pure vanilla extract, gold medal imitation vanilla extract, i found the information about temperatures in cakes and cookies to be the most informative on which to use. internal cake temps only reach 210 where in cookies are up there at 350 and most of the extra compounds in pure vanilla bake off at 280-300 so real is great for cakes and imitation works for cookies. this makes sense and matters if you do a lot of baking, if little baking, well guess a small bottle of both., here is a link to winner of the imitation, apparently an east of the mississippi item and can be mail ordered. i guess i will stick with tones from smart and final., just an interesting look again into vanilla ., http://www.cfsauer.com/products.asp bid =1
