Assemble all the ingredients.

Add 1 1/3 cups warm water, olive oil, flour, brown sugar, salt, and yeast to the bread machine in the listed order, or follow your manufacturer's order if it differs. Run the Dough cycle, about 90 minutes.
- 3
Dust a cutting board with cornmeal. Punch down the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and shape it into two loaves.
- 4
Set the loaves seam-side down on the cutting board; cover with a damp cloth and let them rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
- 5
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 6
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush it over the risen loaves.
- 7
With a sharp knife, make one quick, long slash down the center of each loaf.
- 8
Gently shake the cutting board to ensure the loaves aren't sticking; if needed, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen them. Slide the loaves onto a baking sheet with a swift but careful motion.
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
