Basic Italian Bread


This is my method of making good, crusty Italian bread. Once you know how, you can do lots of things with this dough.

Makes 2 Loaves:


I start with a "biga" or starter the day before, and leave it sit in the fridge overnight, and complete the bread the next day. I don't knead my bread as much as the traditional recipes call for, but I get great results. Even if you've never made bread before, you'll find this recipe easy.
