Rolling in the dough

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Such a beautiful day. Would you be mine? Could you be mine?" M. Rogers

Well, since it's so beautiful in Austin I thought I'd post a recipe that makes me extra happy! It's a stunner of a loaf and tasty to boot. If you make it, please post your results. I wonder if anyone makes the recipes I share on Foodie Crossing. If not, I can rant about other food things!

Parm, Prosciutto & Olive Bread

3 3/4 cup bread flour
1 1⁄2 tbsp. baking powder
3⁄4 cup light olive oil
1 1⁄4 cups dry white wine
6 large eggs
1⁄4 lb. Prosciutto
1 cup sliced pitted black olives (Gaeta works nicely)
1⁄2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375°.

Sift flour and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl.

Make a well in the center and add olive oil, dry white wine, and 1/2 cup water. Stir with a fork until well blended.

Beat eggs in another mixing bowl and stir into flour mixture.

Tear prosciutto into small bits and add to batter with black olives and parmigiano-reggiano. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Dust your hands with flour and form into a nice loaf!

Bake until golden, about 1 hour.

Cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
