how would you go about to make the garlic flavor all throughout the dough and not just on top, cause i wanted to make a lightly flavored garlic bread for hot dogs o.0

I think what I would do is roast the garlic, make it into a paste (by mashing and adding just a bit of olive oil), then mix that in with the dough. This should give a nice, subtle garlic flavor.

Great recipe!! Will have to try it sometime :)

Thanks! It's super easy and delicious (and so much cheaper than buying baguettes at the grocery store), so I tend to make it every couple of weeks.

Awesome! Have any suggestions for using bread flour?

[jakesmommy]

I've always just used all purpose flour, but I'm sure bread flour would be fine. This us a really robust recipe that holds up well to all different kinds of changes i have tried.
