I looked it up---apparently Wal-Mart and Wegman's have the elusive Amoroso rolls.

If a recipe for wings calls for a 12 oz bottle of "amber beer", which beer would you use?

My wife tried quoting me Martha Stewart about carmelizatipn and flavor, and I was trying to tell her, yes, but amber ale, bock or lager all all going to affect the flavor more. And no beer is labeled "amber" and most of the bottles are dark in color so you can't really tell if you aren't a regular drinker (which outside of summer ball games and an occasional Irish pub, I'm not).

Crusty Italian Bread

1 package (2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
4 cups warm water (105-115°)
3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil cornmeal for dusting

Combine yeast, water, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 cup of flour in mixing bowl. Allow to rest for 10 minutes until the yeast starts bubbling and giving off a “yeasty” smell.

Add the remaining flour, sugar and salt and mix until the flour is incorporated. Add the olive oil and knead for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and satiny.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, coating the dough all around with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a wet tea towel and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in volume — 45 minutes to an hour or more, depending on temperature.

Punch down the dough, roll into desired loaf shape, cover with plastic again and allow to rise until doubled in volume.

Place a bowl of water in the stove and pre-heat to 425°. Turn down to 400 when you put the bread in. Bake 20-30 minutes, depending on shape of loaves. Bread is finished when it makes a hollow sound when you thump on the bottom with your thumb.
