Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/8 Cups Milk (lukewarm) (- 259 milliliters)
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((softened) - 57 grams)
3 Cups Bread Flour ((not all purpose flour) - 360 grams)
1 1/2 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar (- 19 grams)
1 Tablespoon Italian Herbs Seasoning (- 15 milliliters)
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder ((optional) - 2.5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Salt (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast (- 5 milliliters)
1 1/2 Cups Milk ((lukewarm))
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((sliced & softened))
4 Cups Bread Flour
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons Italian Herb Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Onion Powder ((optional))
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast

Steps:

  • Bread Machine settings - 1.5 or 2 pound loaf, light color and "basic" bread setting
  • Make sure the bread machine is unplugged and remove the bread pan from the bread machine.
  • Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients (including the Italian herb seasoning). Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together).
  • Place the bread pan back in the bread machine and plug in the bread machine.
  • Enter the correct settings into your bread machine (i.e. 1.5 or 2 lb, light color & basic setting) and press the "start" button.
  • After the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine. Remove the bread from the bread pan and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan from the bread machine as it will be very hot!
  • In our Sunbeam bread machine, the baking takes about 3 hours for a 2 pound bread (and 2:53 hours for a 1.5 lb bread loaf) at the light color & basic bread settings. However, some machines can differ and you don't want to be away from home when the bread machine "finished" alarm goes off! Your bread machine should show you the length of the baking time after you have entered the settings into the machine. This will allow you to know when to be in the kitchen in order to remove the bread.

Italian Parmesan Bread for Bread Machine image

I've been making this bread for years without measuring, and finally decided to write it down. My most requested bread from my bread-lovin' son. Makes the house smell divine!! You can easily increase the amounts of seasonings to your taste. (NOTE: Many people seem to be needing to add extra water, so I'm adding an adjustment to the recipe.)

ITALIAN BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Italian Bread (Bread Machine) image

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.

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

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).

Tips:

  • Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this recipe by following the instructions for the manual method.
  • Make sure to measure your flour and liquids accurately. Too much or too little of either can affect the outcome of the bread.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more liquid.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the bread is light and fluffy.
  • Bake the bread according to the instructions in your recipe. Over-baking or under-baking can result in dry or dense bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
