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.”
