- 1). Place the flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the bread machine pan. Select the dough cycle and press start.
- 2). Place the pizza stone in the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Oven must be preheated at least 30 minutes before baking.
- 3). Punch down the dough, and turn it out onto a slightly 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 the dough has doubled in size, approximately 40 minutes.
- 4). In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tbsp. water. With a pastry brush, coat loaves with the egg mixture. Make one single long cut down the length of each loaf with a sharp knife. Shake the cutting board gently to ensure loaves aren't sticking. If they do stick, use a pastry knife or spatula to loosen. Slide the loaves onto the heated stone with one careful, but quick, motion.
- 5). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when you knock on the bottoms.
