Steps:
- Place flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into two loaves. Place the loaves seam side down on a cutting board generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise, until doubled in volume about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the risen loaves with egg mixture. Make a single long, quick cut down the center of the loaves with a sharp knife. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure that the loaves are not sticking. If they stick, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen. Slide the loaves onto a baking sheet with one quick but careful motion.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

ITALIAN PEASANT BREAD FOR BREAD MACHINE
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this bread flecked with herbs, is an almost identical version to the bread served at the popular restaurant Ramano's Macoroni Grill. I came across the recipe after becoming addicted to their bread and craving it constantly (thanks to Google search and Cafe Michele). It's a great bread to tear and dip in flavored olive oils and to serve with your best Italian pasta dishes, or soups.

Steps:
- Place ingredients, according to manufacturer's directions into your bread machine.
- (some call for all liquids, or all dry ingredients first, so know your machine) Set machine to "dough cycle" and wait. (This takes most machines about an hour and a half for a full cycle).
- Remove from machine when cycle is complete and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Shape dough by hand, into a rectangular mound, spreading kind of thin, maybe an inch or two of thickness.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size. (This is a good time to go ahead and turn the oven on to preheat and help warm the kitchen).
- Brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and salt if desired. (This is the way its done at Macaroni Grill).
- Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and crispy. Bread is meant to be a flatter shape and not a high rising bread.
- Have everyone tear their pieces of bread with their hands,and serve with olive oil flavored with fresh ground pepper.
Tips:
- Using fresh, high-quality ingredients is essential for making great peasant bread. Freshly milled flour, sea salt, and pure water will give you the best results.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Even a small difference in the amount of flour or water can affect the final product.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to work its magic and create a light and fluffy bread.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crusty. The internal temperature should reach 200°F (93°C).
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
