Plain Ole Italian Bread Abm

Love this Bread! Used dough cycle on bread machine. When cycle was complete, I divided dough into 6 (bun size). Placed on lightly sprayed parchment paper in warm oven to let dough rise again. Baked at 350 till lightly browned. Thanks for the great recipe.

M granddaughter and I make bread every week. We always used the italian bread recipe that came with my ABM, but this time we decided to try this one. My breadmaker died right after we put all the ingredients in, so we used the kitchenaid. This bread was exactly how I remember the Italian bread that my mom used to buy from the Italian baker who sold it door to door when I was a child. Crispy crust and soft inside. I think I might have to throw that booklet in the trash.

I formed this dough into four large submarine buns. They were EXCELLENT! Wonderful, soft texture and great taste.

This loaf has great flavor, but it turned out too heavy and dense for my taste.

This bread reminds us of a famous bakery in Omaha where the locals go on Sunday morning and get fresh bread and rolls. If you like toast in the morning then you have to try this. If I were to make it for company, I would use the dough cycle and hand form it as the photos look gorgeous, but doing it all in the ABM works too! This is going in my "Best of Zaar so Far" cookbook!

Fantastic recipe. I did have to add a little extra water to the dough. I always do when making bread, I think it's because our elevation is 7200 ft. Very easy recipe and I followed another reviewer and sprayed the loaf before the 2nd rise with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkled the loaf with garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Great recipe will be making often thanks so much for posting Sally!

This bread was great! Loved the crust and the texture of the bread inside. Sliced it in thick slices and added butter and sprinkled with garlic powder, then baked in aluminum foil for about 10 mins. at 350. Came out crusty on the outside and chewy and deliciously flavored on the inside. With the infusion of the garlic and butter it was perfect to go along with our Seafood Sauce and linguini.

Made for Spring 2008 PAC This was a simple bread to make and it has a nice flavor and texture. Since my DD took the bread machine with her when she got married, I too had to use my Cuisinart. I only needed one loaf so I halved the recipe. I proofed the yeast with the sugar mixed in the water, then added it to the rest of the ingredients and ran my FP about 45 secs more. I had to add a couple of extra tsps. of water for it all to come together. I pulsed for another 30 secs or so. I let the dough rise for about 1hr and 15 minutes the first time, shaped the loaf and let it rise about another hour. I baked it at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. This is a moist bread with a fine crumb and a nice crust. I especially liked it toasted.

Absolutely delish!!! I just received a new cuisinart food processor that has a bread dough attachment so decided to try your bread recipe. I first heated the water up to about 120 degrees, then added the brown sugar, salt and yeast and let if proof for 10 minutes. I put the flour and olive oil in the processor and turned it on for 30 seconds. I then slowly added the water/yeast mixture through the feed tube and continued to process for about 1 minute and it was ready for the first rising. I then put the dough in an oiled bowl and covered and let it rise, then punched it down and divided into loaves. One loaf was wrapped in saran wrap and put in freezer for later use and the other shaped and set to raise for the second time. The kitchen smelled so wonderful while this was baking and the bread turned out perfectly!!! Served warm with butter, it has a great flavor and texture. Thanks Sally for a great recipe!!!

Great bread! Made as directed except formed into one large loaf, let rise, and baked at 400 for around 20-25 minutes. Texture is wonderful, this warm bread just begs for butter. Served with Spaghetti and Meatballs for a lovely dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.

This bread is worth more than 5 stars! I did the whole thing in the bread machine and it was perfect. It was one of the easiest bread machine recipes to slice. I served it with spaghetti and meatballs. I just had a slice with peanut butter. I can't wait to make it again... tomorrow! thanks for sharing:)
