Nannie Ruby's Dago Bread image

My mother-in-law showed me how to make this bread before her son and I were married. She learned it from her mother-in-law who was an immigrant from Sicily. Our family tradition is to have this bread on Christmas Eve. We take a slice of bread and put olive oil, salt and pepper on it and eat it. We also cook homemade Italian sausage and wrap it in a slice of Nannie's bread.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons honey
4 cups warm water
1.5 (1/4 ounce) packages fast rising yeast
4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix flour, yeast and salt.
  • Dissolve honey in one cup warm water.
  • Add two cups warm water and olive oil to honey mixture.
  • Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix by hand or KitchenAid mixer using dough hook.
  • Knead dough about 5 minutes. Place in bowl with a little olive oil in the bottom. Turn dough to coat with oil. Place in warm, draft free area to rise(about 50 min).
  • Take dough out of bowl and knead a second time about 2 min on a floured surface. Place back in bowl, turning dough to coat with oil. Let rise a second time(about 30 min).
  • Knead third time - gently about 2 minute
  • Divide dough into four parts. Smear butter on work surface. Knead each dough ball with fingertips on buttered surface. Each ball of dough should be rolled up like a jellyroll. I add butter to the work surface as needed.
  • Place dough into greased pans. We use PAM to grease the pans.
  • Let dough rise again about 30 minutes. I always cover the loaves with a dish cloth while they rise.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minute Lower to 300 degrees and bake 10 minute longer.
  • Brush tops of loaves with slightly beaten egg whites.

I would not recommend this recipe. The bread was a disaster.

This recipe is a waste of time. The bread was bland and tasteless.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get it right. The bread always turns out too dense.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a little dry and the crust was too hard.

This bread is a little denser than I expected, but it's still very good. I love the crispy crust.

I'm not a huge fan of bread, but this dago bread is amazing! The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy.
