Iffy, but I can't blame Ethan (his help was invaluable)







Ad Lib Bread. It's for dinner!

I'll first, stipulate, that this has yet to be tasted. Suffice to say though, when you are too lazy to separate an egg white and brush it on top of the bread, and decide to use olive oil instead... the results are somewhat different.








Only two cups of flour, one package of yeast, some garlic powder, a bit of salt and seasoning salt, a tad of sugar with the 1 cup of warm water (to help out the yeast) and a smidge of olive oil in the dough. Make a mess with a bit more flour (the boy loved that part). Let rise for 40 minutes, punch down and divide in four. Then roll out in your hands, cut the stupid little slots in the top (they look cool when the egg white trick is "actually" used) and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. (they are, at this point, residing
on a cookie sheet on top of some corn meal)
While waiting twenty minutes for them to rise again, wave the magic wand and get that oven pre-heated to 450 and slide them in for twelve minutes.

After dinner, I'll let you know how they were. (they sure look weird). Would have been worse but for the help. Thanks Ethan!
