Re: (...)
Does anyone have a recipe for this? I bought a small baguette at New Seasons Market...I didn't see any Romano, but it had whole garlic cloves in it...it was a rustic type bread. I wonder if the 18 hour bread could be made into this type of bread? Buddy and I ate the whole baguette at one sitting.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Billy, I've added all kinds of things to that 18 hour bread recipe. Go ahead and experiment. No matter what you do, it still turns out good.

billy, I've been meaning to add some roasted garlic to the 18 hour bread, but haven't done it yet. I do wonder whether to add to the fermentation or wait and work the dough adding it in. don't really want to do the latter, but I'm concerned about the roasted garlic sitting out for 20 hours or so.....try it and let me know if its safe...

Jean,
I wouldn't worry about garlic sitting in bread for 18 hours or more. Garlic itself is a natural antimicrobial!
Read the article I have linked. Garlic has it's own antibacterial properties to it.

The problem is when garlic is submerged into an oil, and not refrigerated, providing an anaerobic, non-acid environment for the growth of botulism.

That's good to know.
My grandmother who is from Italy stores hers this way. They moved to Alaska and she found it was the ony way to be able to keep any on hand.
They haven't gotten sick yet. But they are back in the Lower 48 now and should perhaps rethink this practice.
I will pass this info on to her.

Man, I tried to relate that article to my concern...it was written by a real scientific 'nerd' I'm thinking...

How bout this Jean:
Garlic's Antimicrobial Action
Garlic has been the subject of hundreds of scientific studies. It has a broad spectrum antibiotic activity inhibiting the growth of a variety of microorganisms, including such bacteria as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Escherichia coli; such molds and yeasts as Candida albicans; influenza and herpes viruses; and parasites. Garlic can also kill Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria associated with peptic ulcers. Garlic was used in Africa by Albert Schweitzer for the treatment of amebic dysentery.

thanks Laura - I'll be doing some roasted garlic this a.m. and get going on my 18 hour bread...
If I'm able, I'll tell you how it works.

It's only taken me a day to figure out this thread. I kept thinking romano beans mashed with garlic on baguette. I think I'm with the program now.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.
