MOM'S ITALIAN BREAD
I think Mom used to bake at least four of these tender loaves at once, and they never lasted long. She served the bread with every Italian meal. I love it toasted, too. -Linda Harrington, Windham, New Hampshire

Steps:
- Add the sugar and yeast to the warm water and let proof.
- Stir in 4 cups of flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Beat in the salt and then add enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until as soft and smooth as a bambino's behind. Turn in a greased bowl, cover, and let double in size. (I put it in the oven with the light on - perfect rising temperature.)
- Once doubled, punch down and divide into three. Place back in the bowl, cover, and let rise.
- Once doubled again, punch down and form into three fat "footballs." Grease heavy cookie sheets and sprinkle with corn meal. Place the bread on the sheets, cover with a towel, and let rise.
- Once risen, mist with water and place in a preheated 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven. Mist loaves with water and turn occasionally while they bake. Bread is done when golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

ITALIAN BREAD
My family laughs at me when I tell them that this poor dough never has a change for an hour, but it makes up for all that punching down with its texture and good taste. My mother-in-law taught me how to make this bread...now the recipe's been passed down to my daughter and two granddaughters.

BEST EVER ITALIAN BREAD
I found this recipe on a baking blog, and decided it would be my first posted recipe. I don't want to lose this one! Crunchy on the outside, fluffy and delicious on the inside. This recipe makes a HUGE loaf that's big enough to serve at a large family dinner. Don't let the long instructions scare you. It's really easy to make! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Stir the yeast into lukewarm water and set aside.
- Combine 5 cups flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the yeast mixture, remaining water and olive oil. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on lowest speed of electric mixer (stir setting on a KitchenAid) until a dough starts to form, adding more flour as needed. Knead on low speed (2 on a KitchenAid) for 7 minutes. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface and need by hand for 1 to 2 minutes, or until a smooth, firm, elastic dough is formed.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and spray the dough with a thin coating of cooking spray. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to proof in a warm place for 1½ hours or until doubled in size. I usually put mine in a SLIGHTLY warmed oven.
- Remove the plastic wrap, punch down and flatten the rounded dough with the heel of your hand. Roll the dough up tightly, sealing the seam well after each roll.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and place an empty baking pan on bottom rack. This will be used later to create steam.
- Place the dough on a inverted baking sheet that has been dusted with flour. Cover with a towel, for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Brush the dough with the egg white, and then slash the dough lengthwise about 1/4-inch deep in three spots.
- Place the pan of dough on the top rack, and pour a large cup of water into the warmed baking pan on the bottom rack.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until a hollow thud is heard when tapping the bottom of the bread. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.

5/5 (1)Published Nov 29, 2021Category Recipe Roundup
- Panettone. Kicking off the tour of Italian bread is panettone. This fruity sweet bread is a classic that’s most often served at Christmas time. It has a buttery cake-like texture with a hint of citrus from the orange and lemon zest.
- Focaccia Bread. There is a special place in my heart that’s reserved for this focaccia bread. It’s so buttery that I have to hold back from eating the whole thing.
- Ciabatta Bread. Ciabatta is a very popular Italian bread you can easily find in the states. It has a gorgeous crumb, which is the pattern of the holes inside.
- Pane di Pasqua (Italian Easter Bread) I look forward to this bread every spring. Pane di Pasqua is a braided Italian Easter bread that gets a gorgeous sheen from the egg wash.
- Grissini (Crispy Italian Breadsticks) Grissini is Italian breadsticks that are thin and crispy. Snacks, lunches, or dinners, these breadsticks are a wonderful accompaniment to all sorts of meals.
- Buccellato. Buccellato is a sweet bread that has variations from both Tuscany and Sicily. While both are exquisite, this recipe comes from Lucca, located in Tuscany.
- Sicilian Brioche (Brioche col Tuppo) Sicilians certainly know how to bake a scrumptious brioche. Airy and buttery, this bread is very hard to resist.
- La Piadina. While I love a good crumb, I also have a soft spot for la piadina. This is an Italian flatbread that’s perfect for sandwiches and even great on its own.
- Pagnotta. Take a trip to central Italy ,and you’ll be in pagnotta country. This country-style bread has a crunchy crust and chewy center reminiscent of the best artisan bread.
- Pane Casserecio. Tasty Italian bread takes time and patience. If you have a little bit of both to spare, try this recipe. Pane casserecio is a crusty country bread that uses biga for baking.
