Recipe - Marble Squares

See part 1

a smooth oval loaf. Repeat with other 2 squares of dough.

Place loaves seam side down onto prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with
plastic wrap. Let rise 1 hour in a warm place.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fifteen minutes before baking time, fill an
8inch square baking dish with boiling water; place on the bottom oven rack
to create steam.

Using a razor blade or a small sharp knife, slash each loaf diagonally,
about One fourth inch deep, in 4 places. Bake loaves in the center of the oven
until they are browned and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. (Cover
loaves with aluminum foil if they are browning too quickly.) While bread is
baking, prepare starch wash.

Combine wter and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring
to dissolve the cornstarch; let boil for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove from heat
and let cool to room temperature. Brush hot loaves with starch wash. Let
bread cool on a wire rack.
