This is a very good recipe for Italian bread. I do have a couple of suggestions. I do not break the dough apart until after the second punch down. Rather than misting the tops with water during baking, I spray them with a little mist of cooking spray. It browns the tops nicely. Also, cooking for 1 hour is far too long. The first time I made this bread I naively trusted the cooking time listed, set the timer, and went about doing other things. I only realized there was a problem when the fire alarm went off. 30 minutes at 450º is quite adequate.
