  1. Great, less oily recipe for Fugasse:) I'm making it right now. Have a question: Where could I get that wood bench you have (I assume it's the top?) and how big exactly is it? I didn't know they came that large…mine is like 20" x 18" only, a baby compared to yours!!…lol…thanks for your reply.

  2. One piece of advice, when handling these kind of doughs, you should avoid putting them on wooden surfaces like on the cutting board, cause they will most likely stick (or you will have to use lots of flour to prevent it).
    It's much easier to handle them on a metal/stone surface or even directly on laminated countertops, cause the dough will stick much less.

  3. You had me at Sandollar! I was wondering if I was going to spend any time to make this bread. But since you hit my low country coastal spot I will. You said Sandollar and I thought “oh wouldn’t that be nice for a traditional party”! Then after that I started thinking about this bread and it would be so nice dipped in some cooked muscles or clams! Also just dipped in some butter while eating oysters that have been steamed!!!
