Garlic Bread (Makes about 9 rolls)

Ingredients

3/4 cup cold water plus 2 tbsp

6 tbsp butter (3/4 stick)

3/4 cup vital wheat gluten flour

1/3 unbleached, all-purpose wheat flour

trace of salt

3 eggs

1 egg white

Preparation Method

1.    Preheat oven to 300oF or 325oF. Have ready one large, nonstick cookie sheet.

2.    Put the water and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Occasionally stir the mixture while you wait for the butter to melt.

3.    Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the two flours, and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl.

4.    When the butter has melted and the mixture begins to simmer, add the dry mix all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. The dough will become smooth and leave the bottom and sides of the pan. Keep stirring until no flour shows. Cook for about 10 seconds longer and remove from heat.

5.    Put the hot saucepan on a cold burner. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. At first the dough will appear lumpy. When the whole eggs have been added, the dough will be smooth. Work in the egg white. The dough will be just right; it will still hold its shape, but in softer peaks. It should form mounds that do not spread on the cookie sheet, but sink back and broaden out slightly.

6.    Put spoonfuls of dough on the cookie sheet. Use large teaspoons to drop the dough. Place them fairly close together.

7.    Bake the rolls for about 25 to 28 minutes or until they are golden brown and crusty on top.

8.    For each roll, mix 1/3 cup butter with 8 tsp crushed garlic or 4 tsp powdered garlic. Slice each roll in four or five pieces and spread the garlic butter on one side only. Set the slices on a nonstick cookie sheet, garlic side up. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic bread slices, using about 1 ounce. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the slices have turned golden color.
