Italian bread - classic taste and texture

 

 

HI all,

 

Here is the classic Italian bread. I followed Peter Reinhart recipe.

Here is the link:

Those who try different recipes to make classic Italian bread. These are the texture and the flavor of the authentic bread you are looking for! Loved it!

I baked it on the special Italian loaf pan by USA Pan. Its a great pan for this bread.

I recommend it!

Happy Baking!

...and the result was superb.  I may leave out the sugar next time though.  Just thought I'd let you know :-)

.....much better for you I'm sure.  Superb results again so now​ onto the wholemeal version.

I am using my sourdough starter for the biga and yeast for the dough - I'd like to convert it to 100% sourdough and leave out the yeast - but that's for the future :-)

Cheers
