Homemade Italian Bread, so easy to make! 😋 #recipe in the description

🌟 RECIPE: https://amandascookin.com/italian-bread-recipe/

INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ Tablespoons active dry yeast 2 packets
½ cup warm water 110F
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
2 cups hot water hot to the touch, not boiling (115-120F)
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
½ cup vegetable oil
5-6 cups all-purpose flour add more if needed to get to a pliable dough
1 large egg white for brushing on loaves

INSTRUCTIONS:
– Dissolve yeast, 1/2 cup warm water (110F), and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar in a small bowl.
– In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine 2 cups hot water (115-120F), 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, the salt, and the oil. Add 3 cups of flour to the mixture in this large bowl/mixer and mix well. Stir in yeast mixture.
– Add 2 – 3 cups more flour and mix until well blended. (At this point your dough will still be quite sticky). Leave in bowl, cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour. (If using a mixer, remove the bowl from the mixer and cover. Otherwise your paddle attachment or dough hook will get covered in dough when it rises). NO KNEADING IS REQUIRED.
– After the rise, if the dough is too sticky to handle, add more flour until its workable. For some people this can be up to a cup or more! Just don’t dry out the dough. Add by quarter cupfuls until its workable.
– Divide dough into 2 (or 3 if you want smaller loaves) pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into the length desired then roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll. If it’s still too sticky, add more flour until it’s workable but not dry.
– Put on a greased cookie sheet, sealed side down, and tuck the ends under. Slash the top diagonally across the top every couple of inches with a sharp knife.
– Cover and let loaves rise 30 more minutes.
– While loaves are rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
– Whisk the egg white and brush over the top of loaves.
– Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.
