What comes out is a moist sweet bread. Enjoy.

Italian Bread

December 19, 2019 by Nathan Melen

So far into my novice baking life this recipe is the most fun to do with Daisy. She can do most of the work with little guidance. Check out Daisy and Avery Take Over.

For the most part, this recipe is borrowed from America’s Test Kitchen Bread Illustrated Cookbook. The main difference is that we kneaded the bread by hand as opposed to using the mixer. The directions include using the mixer as well, I have found that the thing Daisy loves the most about making bread is kneading by hand.
