Description

This tender, slightly chewy, open-crumbed bread is good enough to be the centerpiece of a meal; serve it as part of a mezze platter, with pickled vegetables, olives, and cheeses. It's also a quintessential “table bread” that's versatile enough to go with just about anything you're serving. The yogurt and egg wash, which is slathered onto the bread before it's baked, contributes to the deep color, and the dimpling technique is a great excuse to get your hands dirty in the kitchen. You can tear this bread apart, slice it into strips, or go the less traditional route and cut it in half for sandwiches.
