How To Use An Oster Bread Machine

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.

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.

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.

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.

Basic Italian Bread Recipe

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.
