A Trip to Genzano and Forno a Legna da Sergio

Forums:

Having made Pane Genzano and having found it to be a very interesting bread, I really wanted to experience the real thing on my recent trip to Italy with my wife. We had our hotel arrange a driver for us and rode went about twenty miles south from Rome to the town of Genzano. Since Pane Genzano pops up occasionally on this forum, it seemed appropriate to share my experiences.

Recent Bakes - 4/2 to 4/11/10

Hey All,

Just wanted to share with you some recent bakes. Enjoy! Sorry no recipes. Please bug me if you want any of them.

4/2/10 - Pane Casereccio di Genzano, Poilane style miche, Olive Bread. The olive bread did not turn out well... Sorry no crumbshots for these.

4/4/10 - Cottage Loaves

4/6/10 - Pane di Matera (Durum bread). This is my poor attempt at this bread. It's really difficult to shape. Mine looked horrible, but they tasted pretty good... More info here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng4jnGnLTb4 and here: http://mollicadipane.blogspot.com/2008/12/il-pane-di-matera_7869.html

4/7/10 - Breadcrumb Bread... This is another attempt at doing the Pane di Matera shape, very slightly more successfully, but not quite there yet...

4/8/10 - Olive Bread... Sorry no crumbshot... My friends said it tasted really good...

4/11/10 - Pizza. Mushroom, and Artichoke, and Jamon Serrano...

Genzano Potato Pizza

Forums:

Pizza, focaccia, and flat breads

I had a big baking day yesterday, with a couple pugliese loaves from BBA using mostly durum flour (made a fine breakfast with butter and honey this morning), the largest ciabatta I've ever made, and Dan Leader's Genzano Potato Pizza from Local Breads to come with me to a potluck.
