This was my first attempt at Italian bread. Turned out fantastic. Texture was good and tender. Crust was perfect and bread was tasty. Much better than expected from this simple recipe after watching many more complicated recipes. Thank you for the recipe.
I’ve made your recipe several times and shared with family and friends. They all love it. Making rolls and loaves today. Again. My grandchildren love the rolls.
I tried a couple of different recipes I found and my husband liked this one so much he bought me a mixer after hearing me say how easy it looked in this video to mix the dough as opposed to mixing and kneading by hand. Needless to say I'll be making this more often. 😊
Made this tonight- thanks for sharing. First loaf of bread ever. Made a loaf and used the other half for dinner rolls. Used an infused Tuscan herb olive oil and finished with a little flaked lemon sea salt after the egg wash.... Awesome!
Amazing, thank you so much. They look fantastic. I worked at an Italian Bakery when I was 18. And we would make a variety of breads. Braided with Sesame seeds, buns with poppy seeds...etc. Good stuff. Nothing beats Italian bread.
I made your Italian bread today. Let the my Kitchen Aid mixer knead the dough for 11 minutes. Bowl was clean. Put a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of the bowl and rolled the ball of dough around in it. Covered it with a dampened cheese cloth and set it in the oven with the light on. Let it rise for about an hour. Shaped two loaves and placed them in an Italian loaf pan(for double loaves). Let them rise for 25 minutes then brushed with egg wash then sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds. Baked in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. After cooling I cut off a heel of one and buttered it. It is so good. Texture is superb and the crust is crunchy. Thank you for your tutorial recipe. I believe that I have found a real keeper in your recipe.
I make this bread almost every week I like your recipe because its easy to follow Ihate when they do scale measurements yours is the best thanks so much Chef
It's crazy how good this bread is, I thought people in the comments section were exaggerating, but it is a great recipe. My mom can't get enough of it and keeps asking me when I'm making more lol Thank you very much for this delicious recipe!! ❤
I make your recipe all the time! Shared it with my brother too! You sound just like him. So, like baking with my bro! Oh yeah, I make and gift these loaves now as well! Thank you!! It took me 2 years to use my stand mixer. You showed me the way!!!
I've been searching just for this special type of Italian Bread! Thank You for sharing your talents! I'll be making bread now, even more than the treats for desert! God Bless!
This is my go-to recipe for making Italian bread. It always turns out perfect. My laptop gets a bit dusted with flour as it plays your video, each time I make this bread. Thank You
Having been stationed in Naples and living in Pianura, Italy on the economy, I can say that you really need to add a quick Italian bread oil dipping recipe to compliment the bread when you eat it. Hey, and no real Italian would ever touch bread without their accompanying vino. Believe me, there is no comparison in the world as to actually being in Italy and seeing just how much love and effort goes into whatever they bake in their homes or at the bakeries there. In Italy, the forno, or bakery, is the place where you buy bread, naturally: You can get bread at the grocery store, too, but the quality is incomparable and Italians are very traditional-they prefer to go to the bakery for their bread. Having lived by one and having an Italian friend/neighbor who owned one, the smell is wonderful and nothing can really compare. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much I watched a lot of videos about bread until I found this one. I made my bread today and it came out "almost" Paul Hollywood approved. Thank you for making this video !!!!!!
Well I did another recipe and it was a complete fail. Then I found you and cannot begin to tell you how happy I was with the results. My family loved it!! Just like my Nonna made. Served with a tomatoes salad and gained 5 pounds!! Thank you so much for sharing, blessings!!
Thanks sooooo much for your easy to follow directions!!! I just started making bread and kept wondering how hard would it be to make Italian bread. You make it sound so easy now I can’t wait to finish what I made the other day so I can make this!!!! Again….THANKS!!!! SO MUCH!
I started making this bread during quarantine. I’m SO glad I came across this recipe. It’s SUPER easy to make and it always comes out great! Thank you for posting this!
I make two loaves of this bread EVERY WEEK! I share with family next door and we are well and truly addicted! I broke my dough hook some time back and have made this by hand ever since! Great video, great bread!
Chewy, last night I tried one of those no knead fast breads. Trying to show my daughter how good homemade bread can be, it was a flop. But thanks to u I have redeemed myself tonight. This was awesome!!!! Made with nice Sirloin Roast, potatoes carrots and celery! Thanks for saving the day!!!
i love the way you keep it simple. i live in Kashmir, and we dont have breads in our culture...now adays um trying to make a wood fired oven..then i will be trying to bake some breads..ofcourse aided by you vidios..
Never mind about type yeast question. I used instant yeast . Turned out perfect. Great recipe. I recieved thumbs up from the four i gave it to. Thank you for the hard work in making the vidio.
I was watching this other chef he didn’t want to give the cup recipes. He’d rather use a scale. I prefer yours. Your recipe was a lot better and it came out. Excellent thank you for for your recipe.
I stumbled on this recipe not too long ago and made it. My whole family loved it. The first time I made it, it came out a bit dense, but I tried it again and followed it to the letter of your process and it turned out wonderfully. Thanks for the suggestions!
I made this recipe about 4 days ago using high gluten flour and 1/2 packet of rapid-rise yeast. It was delicious and the best Italian/French bread I have tried to date. However, I have read that stickier (higher water content) doughs rise better and give a larger, airier crumb texture. (1) Have you tried making this with more water? (2) Have you tried longer rise times? (I used a large bread loaf perforated mold, which I placed on a pizza stone). Thank you for a great recipe.
You are terrific! Just watched your video and I know this is some great bread. Re changing to healthy eating I totally agree with you - it sure takes some getting use to. You cook well and I plan on making most of your dishes. Wishing you good health, Always.
This is my go to recipe for any bread! My kids love this! They even told the bakery manager to watch your video! Lol! I am attempting to master sourdough right now. Alas and alack, the flour scarcity and picky sourdough are hiccups along my path! Will power through and never give up, well, until I run out of flour! Lol!
great recipe .i am eating it now. Most people under the age of 60 have no idea what bread is supposed to taste like or music should sound like ,W.T.F. did we do wrong ?
I know this is now an old video, but I just found it. First off, thank you. It is a simple recipe and very easy to follow. Made this today and already half a loaf is gone! (there's just two of us!). I would make a change the next time I make it. Gonna skip the parchment/wax paper liner and go directly onto the no stick cookie sheet. And I think I'll cut the recipe in half. This is a lot of bread. It's so easy to make, why not just make when I need it!!! The taste was absolutely great. Even made so toast and put home made on it.
Made this recipe several times now - came out very good each time. Made a big batch one day and gave some away to family and they loved it. For me it's easy, and I will look no further for a good recipe for my home and family. Also, whatever I don't use I slice in 1 inch thick slices, and place in ziplock bags in my freezer. Easy to take some slices out and pop in the toaster in the morning, and way better than store bought slice bread when toasting with jam.
I shall try your recipe! It sounds wonderful!! I Love bread! I have cooked French, Mothers Peasant and Sourdough! I'll let you know the result! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us all! 🙋☺👍🌷
My bread turned out lovely. I put a herb spice on top after I put egg on the loaves. Some were sprinkled with a mixture of spices another with those multi bagel seeds. I’m very happy with my bread. I did butter the tops after done because I like soft tops on my breads.
I have made this bread several times, with garlic and rosemary, fresh caramelized onion and wheat. Great simple bread. Try slowing the rise in a cool place for more flavor.
I have tried to make Italian bread so many times and it’s never good. This recipe is amazing. I used a cloche which gave it a great thick crust. Really tastes like it came from an Italian bakery!
Well done Chewy! Thanks. I've been doing this manually for a long time; however, I am a proud owner of a Kitchen Aid now and wanted to employ it. You helped facilitate that: Much obliged, my good man!
This bread is great. My kid and I love it. She's a picky eater. it's a minor miracle when she picks up something other than corn on the cob or chocolate and chows down.
I love trying new recipes, but it's just me and the hubby these days tried cutting this in half. I had to add more flour,,, might be cause I live in the mountains and it's a cool day, looks great hope mine comes out as nice as yours. Thx for sharing.
Друзья! Спасибо, что вы есть! Что вы со мною рядом! Вам чужды, знаю, зависть, лесть, Слова, что больно ранят. Готовы выслушать всегда, Совет дать, наставленье.

Мои друзья! Я вас люблю! Желаю всем вам счастья!
I was making it as I watched him...pausing video...don't you know I thought he forgot the egg and I put mine in with all of the other ingredients...I was going to ask him to tell folks at the beginning to hold onto the egg but then I realized, nobody is probably as dim as I am about bread making... Here goes...? lol ooops
Thanks for the video! I've had such a hard time cooking bread by hand...bread maker works fine, but can't make a real loaf of Italian bread in a bread maker! I can't wait to try this tomorrow morning...I hope I don't mess it up, it's for dinner at my sisters! Thanks for making it simple, Chef Chewy!

I was making it as I watched him...pausing video...don't you know I thought he forgot the egg and I put mine in with all of the other ingredients...I was going to ask him to tell folks at the beginning to hold onto the egg but then I realized, nobody is probably as dim as I am about bread making... Here goes...? lol ooops
I did the exact same thing!!! Then I watched the rest of the video... I felt dim too!!! 😅 But at least we are trying to learn something new :)...
I did that exact same thing from a written recipe. The bread was fine. It was fluffy!
Ya egg is the topper at egg. LOL. I was wondering too. 😊
Could the other Regular yeast be use instead of Rapide yeast . ..
Yes of just add it to the flour and then add the water to the whole mixture,you'll be fine:)
Hi, did you use all purpose or self rising flour. They look perfect.
All purpose flour
@@hi.cookingwithchewy6410 thanks
