If you reside in the U.S. then you might want to use all bread flour, Canadian residents use half bread and half all-purpose flour, you can make two smaller loaves or make one large loaf or the dough may also be shaped into 18-20 rolls, you may use up to 1-1/2 teaspoons salt. Prep time includes 1 hour rising time, since every bread machine dough cycle time is different, the prep time is only estimated.

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 loaves (or 1 large)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups water (110 degrees F)
2 cups all-purpose white flour
2 cups white bread flour
1 teaspoon salt (can use up to 1-1/2 teaspoons)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast (you could just use a small package of yeast which is 2-1/4 teaspoons instead of the 2-1/2 teaspoons)
1 small egg
1 tablespoon water
3 -4 tablespoons cornmeal (to sprinkle on baking sheet)

Steps:

Place the water, flours, olive oil, salt, sugar and yeast in the bread pan in order recommended by the manufacturer.
Place into the bread machine and set to dough cycle; press start.
When the cycle has finished deflate the dough and remove to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough evenly in half (or you may leave in one large piece).
Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and let rest for 4-5 minutes.
Roll up the dough, shape into two loaves, then seal the seam.
Place the loaves spaced well apart seam-side down on a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet that has been generously sprinkled with cornmeal.
Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for about 40 minutes to 1 hour (be careful not to over rise your dough or it will deflate when brushing with the egg mixture and will taste yeasty after baked).
In a small bowl whisk together egg with water.
Brush the egg mixture gently over the loaves.
Make one long fast slit down the middle of the dough using a very sharp small knife or a razor blade.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Immediately remove the loaves to a wooden cutting board (if the loaves stick to the pan gently place a spatula underneath loaves to loosen).

Ingredients

4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 ⅓ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons cornmeal

Place flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into two loaves. Place the loaves seam side down on a cutting board generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise, until doubled in volume about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the risen loaves with egg mixture. Make a single long, quick cut down the center of the loaves with a sharp knife. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure that the loaves are not sticking. If they stick, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen. Slide the loaves onto a baking sheet with one quick but careful motion.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

ITALIAN BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

I love this recipe because it is very quick and easy. The ingredients for this recipe are always in most peoples houses. I've been known to whip up a loaf in the morning when I realized I was out of bread for school lunches. I don't always use the egg white in the recipe unless you want a crispy crust. Most times I just brush on butter after if comes out of the oven. This recipe is tried and true and loved by all in my circle of family and friends; enjoy. Notes: Easy and with no milk. I have also added Parmesan, thyme, garlic after the flour and salt just to give it an added flavor change every now and then. Serving Ideas: Wonderful w/ pastas or stews.
