Ingredients

Instructions

Roasted Garlic
Peel garlic cloves and crush them into large pieces and place the cloves into a bowl.
Mix in olive oil.
Put garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven, preheated to 375 F, until moderately brown.
Dough
Weigh and sift all dry ingredients and place them into a stand-up mixer bowl. Using a dough hook, mix on slow speed for 2 minutes.
Add margarine and garlic. Continue mixing while adding water slowly.
Switch mixer to fast speed and fully develop to a glossy and pliable dough clinging to the dough hook (about 5-8 minutes).
Processing Method
Remove from the mixer to lightly floured table.
Divide into three pieces and mold round.
Cover and rest for 10 minutes to allow the dough to recover.
Now roll the dough pieces into a batard shape (long oval) 
Place onto a light oiled sheet.
Proof in a cool, enclosed space (for example, a cupboard) for 30 minutes.
After proofing, score along the top of the dough. 
Baking
Preheat the oven to 475 F.
While preheating, place an empty metal water container (for example a cake pan) on the bottom shelf of the oven. 
Place the dough pieces on the center shelf.
Quickly fill a water container with 1 cup hot water.
Spritz inside of oven sides with light water spray.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool.
It can be served warm with your favorite filling or eaten with olive oil as a dip or served with soup.
