[net.cooks] Wanted: French/Italian bread recipe

tynor@gitpyr.UUCP (Steve Tynor) (01/15/85)

I'm looking for a good french/italian bread recipe.  I've been
recently transplanted from the Chicago suburbs to Atlanta Ga. While
in Chicago, I was able to buy the most delicious french bread at
many major supermarkets (Jewel, Dommenicks...). The bakery's name:
Gonnella.  

Down here, french bread (without making a special trip to the baker)
comes in a plastic bag, and has no texture to speak of. (I like a
good "chew" in my bread... italian bread should not be mushy like
standard "white bread"   The Gonnella loafs were unwrapped and
kept an excellent crust)

Can anyone provide a recipe for a good, crusty loaf?  I'll be
forever indebted...

Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
