Your family will love your amazing Italian bread. It is perfect with most meals… especially with Italian dishes such as lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmigiana, etc.
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.

Yes, there are many Italian breads that contain different herbs (i.e. rosemary). Herbs are a great way to add different flavors and improve a “standard” (slightly boring) homemade bread. If you would like to add herbs to this Italian bread recipe, you can add 1 teaspoon of your favorite herb (i.e. rosemary, Italian seasonings, oregano, etc.) into the bread pan before you turn on the bread machine.

This recipe uses good quality olive oil (a must for true Italian bread), warm milk and brown sugar to produce a soft, fluffy, and mild flavored bread. The taste of Italian bread is dependent upon olive oil, so it will only be as good as the one you use.
Many bread machine Italian bread recipes call for you to let the dough rise on one surface for a second time, and then carefully transfer the dough to a parchment lined baking sheet. My recipe eliminates that step by completing the second rise on the parchment lined baking sheet.
Below I give you more tips for bread making success, whether for this recipe or another. Plus, instructions for baking in the oven, air fryer, and bread maker and shaping the dough for different uses.
Easy Homemade French Bread (bread Machine/by Hand)
Instant yeast, active dry yeast, and bread machine yeast are all okay to use in the bread machine. Instant yeast rises and creates flavor with 1 rise, while active dry yeast takes 2 rises. Because we allow Italian bread to rise twice, you can use either instant or active dry yeast.
Bread machine yeastis a specially formulatedinstant yeastthat's made to rise twice as fast as active dry yeast. If you choose bread machine yeast, your dough will rise quicker. This may be good during the second rise, if you don't want to wait too long or if you're in a time crunch to bake it.
However, when using the different yeasts, you'll see insignificant if any, differences in the texture or shape of this Italian bread recipe.
Italian Bread In A Bread Machine
This recipe makes one 2 lb loaf or two 1 lb loaves. You can also shape it into 6 hoagie rolls or 8 hamburger style buns/dinner rolls. Italian bread can be oven-baked, air fried, or baked in the bread machine.
Oven baking: perfect for making into 2 small loaves, hoagie rolls or dinner rolls. It takes about 30 minutes and you have control over the shape of the bread.
Air frying: air frying bread is slightly quicker than baking it in a standard oven, at about 20 minutes. As with oven baking, you can make 2 small loaves, sandwich or dinner rolls. Use the bake setting at 350 degrees F and low convection for the best outcome.
Rustic Italian Loaf
Baking in the bread machine: this is the easiest method and eliminates steps 3-7. However, you lose control over shaping the bread and will have 1 large loaf the shape of your bread pan. To bake in the bread machine, use the Italian Bread setting on your bread maker. If your brand does not have this setting, use the Basic/White Bread setting.
Step 1: Add the warm water, warm milk, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast to the bread pan in this order. *
The ingredients are listed in the order that Cuisinart machines require them to go. For other brands, check your manual for the correct order to add ingredients.

Step 4: When the cycle has finished, remove the dough and separate into 2 dough balls. Roll each into a rounded log about 10 inches long, being careful that the loaves are far enough apart that they will not touch while rising. Cover with a damp heavy towel and put in a warm place. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the towel and carefully slice a line down the center of each loaf without deflating the dough. In a small bowl, mix the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture onto the top and sides of the dough.
Step 6: Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes, until the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.

To get the most out of your homemade bread, it must be stored properly. Italian bread should be stored in an airtight bread bag or bread box. It will keep for 2 days at room temperature, 5 days in the fridge and around 6 months in the freezer.
For freezer storage, wrap tightly in plastic and then put into a freezer safe baggie. Freeze the loaf unsliced, or in slices for quick defrosting of individual servings.
