Tools I Used:
Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/3N8ZPUi (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)
Alternative pan:
* https://amzn.to/49UyaOo – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* https://amzn.to/4gnx6Fb – same as the previous pan.
This homemade Italian bread has that perfect rustic look with irregular shapes that make each piece unique. The crust is thin and crispy, and it shatters when you bite into it, revealing an incredibly light and airy interior. So soft inside and absolutely delicious fresh out of the oven. Perfect for sandwiches, dipping in olive oil, or serving alongside any meal.

Merci pour la recette 😋😋😋
Could it be made with sourdough starter?
You didn’t sprinkle the water in the pan. Is it not always needed.
👍👍👍
Can I just use whole wheat flour for this recipe
Trying this today
That crispy crust + airy crumb is bakery-level perfection 😍🥖
Can’t wait to try! I have a question. This recipe says 1 cup (240 mL) but in the video with the 6 dough balls with sesame seeds, it says 1 cup (220 mL). Why is there a different amount written when using the metric system but the customary units are the written the same? Just curious! Thank you in advance!
Looks awesome! Q: No sugar needed in the dough for the yeast?
I can't find what temp for our long?? My dough is ready to go 😢😢
Can I use dry yeast??
