Homemade Italian Bread
Homemade Italian Bread
"Homemade Italian bread is actually very easy to make and tastes delicious! While you could buy a loaf of Italian bread from the grocery store, baking bread is fun and satisfying. Warm, toasty bread from the oven is pure comfort food. This Italian loaf is perfect with a bowl of spaghetti, or alongside a plate of my crockpot roast beef! There are plenty of dinners that we like to eat this homemade bread with, and they aren’t all Italian meals! I’ve been known to sop up the juices of my favorite pork sirloin roast using a hunk of this bread. "
