I would say ask Bucca what bread they use. Make sure you use good EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. Also be sure to rub garlic on top the bread.

I like simple fresh tomato and basil on my bruschetta (basically it is Italian toast)

You put galic on the bread and not in the tomato mixture? Ok, now I'm really confused....been on this STUPID computer all day, like an idiot...duh and my brain is having to work, so if you can explain yourself better, I'd appreciate it..

Toast your bread, rub with the garlic, and drizzle with really good olive oil then top with the tomato and basil. yes I do put a bit of garlic in the tomato mixture but I also rub the bruschetta with it as well.

Focaccia

2 cups warm water (105°F; to 115°F

2 teaspoons dry yeast
4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
24 (or as many as you like we like lots) black or green brine-cured olives pitted (we like to use Mezzetta brand Napa Valley Bistro, Italian Olive Antipasto, kinda spicy but really good flavor and we also add the red pepper pieces and garlic cloves as well as the olives)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried

Place 2 cups warm water in large bowl, add dry yeast; stir well.
Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes.

Add 4 1/4 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture and mix well (dough will be sticky). Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more flour (by tablespoonfuls) if dough is to sticky, about 10 minutes. Form dough into ball. Place dough into a well oiled bowl turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm area until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough; knead into ball and return to same bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm area until doubled, about 45 minutes or less

Coat 15x10-inch baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Punch down dough. Transfer to prepared sheet. Using fingertips, press out dough to 13x10-inch rectangle. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over dough. Sprinkle olives and chopped rosemary evenly over. Let dough rise uncovered in warm area until puffy, about 25 minutes.

Preheat oven to 475°F. Press fingertips all over dough, forming indentations. Bake bread until brown and crusty, about 20 minutes. Serve bread warm or at room temperature.

This is probaby my most favorite bread EVER.

Sounds good. Is that oven temp posted correctly? Seems awfully hot.

My friend made a loaf of this bread for us the day I had my foot surgery - over a week ago. We finally got around to cutting into it today and it was still moist and delicious!!! This is almost a dessert. And it's fantastic for breakfast. And it'll go with your meal easily. So you can use this for lots of things. You'll love it!

Pat's Poppy Seed Bread

4 eggs - beaten very, very well
add:
1 Lemon cake mix
1 small box Instant Lemon Pudding Mix
1 c. water
1/2 c. oil
4 T. poppy seeds

Mix this all together. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes in 2 greased pans. Or you can put it all in one bundt cake pan and bake it for 50 minutes.
