NOTES : I make an egg wash of 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of water. I brush
the rolls before baking and half way through again. This gives a lovely
crusty texture. Barley Malt syrup is a must. Any GNC nutrition center or
health food store stocks it or can get it. I use this in place of 1
tablespoon of water in ALL bread machine recipes. It extends a rich unique
bready flavor.
I make lots of French, Italian breads and Kaisers. I found a bakers Lame in
Williams-Sonoma ( catalog only). It is a very thin sharp blade with a slip
case that scores bread and will not deflate the loaf or drag like a knife.
