Italian Herb Bread

In case you didn’t know but Italian bread is not the same as French bread. Classic French bread generally uses only yeast, flour, water and salt. In contrast, Italian breads are a little more complex & flavorful and may use additional ingredients such as milk, olive oil, sugar, herbs, etc. In addition, many Italian breads are more oval in shape whereas classic French bread loaves usually come in a narrow baguette shape.

Please be aware that this Italian bread is not the usual set & forget bread machine recipe. You will have to shape the bread in order to create an oval Italian bread (versus settling for the standard bread machine “block” shaped bread). Moreover, this Italian bread needs to be finished in an oven. Nevertheless, this bread machine recipe is much easier than making Italian bread entirely by hand! Your Italian bread will also look much nicer than a “block” of bread machine bread.

Equipment – Measuring cup & spoons, flexible spatula, oven mitts, rolling pin, large cutting board, baking sheet, pastry brush, cooling rack, oven and of course, a bread machine.
