Italian Bread

Made a simple enriched Italian bread that is very versatile. My mom made this a lot growing up. One of my favorites for sure. This loaf was about 1000 grams. Hydration was around 73%, enriched with 5% olive oil, 3% sugar, and 2.6% salt and about 1% IDY.

All you need is nice pasta and sauce to dip it in 😆

That looks delicious!  Is that much salt typical for this style of bread?

That's a good question, and I don't think it is always that way, but I wanted to see the effects and the taste.
