Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Directions

Place 1 1/3 cups warm water, olive oil, flour, brown sugar, salt, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by your manufacturer if different. Run the Dough cycle, about 90 minutes.
Sprinkle cornmeal onto a cutting board. Punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and form into two loaves. Place loaves, seam-side down, onto the cutting board; cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat egg and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl; brush over risen loaves.
Use a sharp knife to quickly cut one long slash down the center of each loaf. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure the loaves are not sticking; use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen them if necessary. Slide loaves onto a baking sheet with a quick but careful motion.
Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.
