My husband’s mother always made 5 loaves of bread plus a pizza every Friday when he was a teenager. Of course they were an Italian family. She was the best cook! I lived across the street and was best friends with his sister so I got to eat all of this delicious food! I watched her make her bread and she did all of the mixing and kneading by hand, but it had the same ingredients. Delicious! Can’t wait to try your method! Thank you!
Two things that I really appreciate about this recipe are that you can make it in a food processor, and that you don't have to worry about transferring your raw risen loaf from your proofing pan onto a baking stone. You proof it and bake it in the same pan, how easy is that! I am really looking forward to making this bread. Thanks for the recipe Phil!
This is the best I have seen on TH-cam, I came to Canada in 1975, I saw this recipe on TV with a chef's name Fran, I made constantly for my family, and friends, everyone loves it. She was also Italian. Thanks much for sharing this with others, you are also very nicely spoken, also very handsome. Blessings
I made this and you were right. I was using too much flour in my bread recipes. Thanks for tip! I made your bread by hand and it was great. Tyvm and God Bless!
Nice loaf. I make breads by hand using the no knead method, ferments overnight. I also use more water to get a larger crumb (holes). BTW, I’m half Sicilian.
Thanks for the recipe. What an easy bread! I use baker's percentages, to scale up or down (usually, scaled down, and using toaster oven to bake). 100.00% All-purpose flour 57.14% Water (warm) 1.69% Salt 1.20% Sugar 2.66% Instant Dry Yeast 3 rises; 450°F for ~15 min., sprayed w/water each 5 min.
Thanks so much. Tasted great, especially sopping up the sauce. My wife and I have been experimenting for years. We need to turn our oven up a bit or leave the bread in a little longer next time. Nothing will ever taste my like Neapolitan Mothers Italian bread but it is very close. But she cooked Sicilian for my Father!
I have tried dozens of bread recipes. Some not bad, others a disaster. Made yours today. Wow. Easiest yet. Came out real real nice. This is my go to bread recipe from now on. When On a good thing stick to it. Thankyou Phil.
Great job Im going to give it a try ,My wife is Sicilian and I sure love Italian food,She learned from her father how to cook who came from Sicily, .....God bless
Quick, simple, easy. I’m gonna try it your way! This loaf is small enough that I can bake it in my countertop oven. It preheats quickly and maintains a much more accurate temp than my range oven does.
I'm making this for the third time today; dough is proofing now. The first time, I kneaded it in the bowl just until the flour was all incorporated. The second time, I kneaded about 4-5 minutes longer. It came out a bit dense, but was still good. This third time I did the same as the first. Also, I'm adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds before baking.
wow so easy & best part is you taught me how to use my digital scale properly, i gotta make this bread tonight. i don't like how my bread comes out using bread pans. love learning how to bake. mama mia :)
I really enjoyed your video. Just starting to get into baking bread. I love how you made it so simple and not so convoluted!! I'll be making this tomorrow morning! Bless you!
Love this, wrote it all down, will be trying this!! From one Italian to another, bel pane! Thanks for sharing 🍞❤....update...waiting to go in the oven now...so easy...so far looks great!!
I used my kitchen aid mixer with a dough hook. I had to add just a little bit more water to get it to the right consistancy. My oven has a profiting temp of 95 degrees. I used that for my first 2 rises. Then set the baking temp.
Just got the apron, Phil! Now I feel like I can really cook your recipes! ALWAYS weigh bread ingredients, pre-heat oven to 500 prior to baking at your final temperature. This is a very low hydration recipe.
@@themywaychef3615 I made your Italian bread again today...Always perfect!!!! I use the shower caps every time I make ANYTHING that needs to rise, Thanks for the "secret" .
Oh Wow! You have made bread making so easy for me. First time watching your channel and a new subscriber as well. I loved at how easy you made this look and to make. It looks so soft. I'm going to make my first loaf tonight. Going to try and make this in my Air Fryer / Oven. Thanks, you so much. Will let you know how it turned out.
I'm anxious to try your recipe Sir. The loaves of bread look very inviting to eat. Beautiful Kitchen. You're a Good Teacher for baking bread and probably a lot of other fine foods.
My fathercwas Sicilian. I love the hard crusty bread with the aroma of yeast & thats softness inside. I miss those days with the cheeses, meats different types of olives. Yum. Thanks for sharing. Need regular measurements. Im old school.❤😂🎉😊
Hi Joyce. Thanks for watching my bread video! If your bread is not browning but it is done inside you might want to try an egg wash instead of spraying with water. Mix 1 egg with 2 Tbsp of water and brush lightly on top of the loaf before putting in the oven. You only need to do this once unlike spraying with water a few times. The egg will bake and promote browning. I know that ovens are all different. You just have to experiment to get it right! Hope this helps and let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Nothing like a fresh loaf of perfect bread!
Total baking time in my oven is 15 minutes. Mist and bake for 5 minutes three times. Each oven is different so another way to know if the bread is done is to use a thermometer and bread is done at 190 degrees. Here is a link to the written recipe and it outlines baking. Thanks for watching. express.adobe.com/page/YK1kz8wKLhxOi/
Now, you are a genious...... you just resolved my dough problem. My dough when bread is made , was too thick, too much dough in the middle and sometimes would not even cook all the way.
After watching numerous videos, I’ve decided to use your recipe for my first attempt. You must be Sicilian, you are the only one I’ve seen cut the loaf on its side !! Lol
Thanks for the great video! I'm baking this today, wish me luck. I really enjoyed your video, you're very informative and entertaining at the same time. : )
He doesn't use bread flour because it's expensive I'm sure he could afford a couple of pennies more look at the house look at the kitchen he's living in this guy's a riot and a good cook I'm sure😅🥰👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
You have a good bread recipe, I use Ceresota unbleached flour its the same as Hecklers. it has a little less protein than bread flour and I spooned one cup of flour in a bowl and weighed it after zeroing and it weighed by my scale 130 grams I am sure Humidity can effect weight, flour because of the way they are ground can change the density and weight. I made your recipe and it came out very good. For small amounts of bread I also use a food Processor.
@@themywaychef3615 It has been! I've been a baking manic!!! I'm actually letting a batch rise right now to attempt dinner rolls using your recipe. I can't thank you enough!
Commadre! I was born and raised in East Boston! Both parents born in Sicily. Such fond memories there! We visit Santarpio's every time we are in Boston and cruise down Chelsea Street where we lived. Glad you are enjoying my videos. My mom's family lived in the North End. I love it too!
Hello! Great video!! I am from Jersey and moved to NC about 8 years ago. There is NO good bread here anywhere so I am just now thinking I should make my own. I love the crunchy outer crust with the chewy inside. Nothing like it. I do like sesame seeds on the crust though. How could I incorporate them into your recipe??
@themywaychef3615 Well, they came out amazing! I'm 57 and never weighed my ingredients, but I did notice the measurements were absolutely off. I will continue to use this method 🙌🏻 Appreciate your videos. Have a m Merry Christmas!
So, I've made this twice. Both times the bread did not rise in the oven. I'm following the recipe and your video exactly. I am using a Breville Food Processor to mix the dough and pulse until the dough comes to a ball. Then I knead it until smooth as a baby's bottom and put in an oiled bowl with a cover. The dough rises as expected in the first and second rises. When I form the bread and wait for the third rise it flattens. When placed in the oven it gets a very small rise during cooking. The height of the bread upon completion is about 1.5 inches at most. The bread is tasty and cooks well, otherwise. Do you have any suggestions? I can send you a couple of photos if you like.
Hi Harry, thanks for watching my video. Here are a couple of questions....1. What is the temperature of the water when proofing the yeast? 2. Is the yeast proofing as in the video....bubbling after proper time? 3. Would you say the first and second rises are doubling in size? OR how much are they rising? Let me know these answers and maybe we can zero in on the problem. Phil
@@themywaychef3615 Water temp in all cases was 110-115ºF. The yeast proofed with bubbling as suggested. Both the first and second rises doubled in size each time. The third rise just comes up a little rendering a flatter bread almost like a ciabatta but denser.
@@harryconte7222 Hi Harry. Ok. Thanks for the info. Not sure what is happening as you seem to be doing everything right. Maybe try omitting the second rise - since the third one is the one causing problems - and see what happens. Trial and error. Let me know what happens!
Here's a Greek tip. Uses a wet towel to cover dough while it rises. He's right on the H2O. To get really crispy crust you need h20. I also use a poolish when making bread. I also like semolina...just a cup.
Amazing bread I've made it once before ! Just a question could I make the dough and put in the fridge overnight and bake it the following day or would it be better to bake it the day before and warm it up alittle for the following night? Thanks alot I love your recipes
I use a bread maker and it just doesn't produce the light Italian bread I like. It's decent enough bread, but it's very heavy. I notice you use a lot more yeast. Your recipe is very straight forward. I also want to try it as a pizza crust. I bet it would make a great pizza.
I'm not sure if they all zero or not. I use this one. Thanks for watching! www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Pound-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B0020L6T7K/ref=sr_1_7?gclid=CjwKCAiAu5agBhBzEiwAdiR5tN_zCAT7iV9bJqhSUGa1JZXj0dbRhiqrmtqkVO4_JglU1JFn4Mh99hoCJvMQAvD_BwE&hvadid=176945199003&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1013964&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=6340589169336975765&hvtargid=kwd-11141095455&hydadcr=13957_9624615&keywords=oxo%2Bgood%2Bgrips%2Bscale&qid=1678124611&sr=8-7&th=1
This recipe is very good. I am a novice at baking bread and it came out decent but the inside texture, is it supposed to be somewhat heavy? Almost biscuit like.
Hi! The texture of this bread is heavier, yes. Does yours look like what you see in the video? Does it seem to be cooked all the way? Sometimes if it is undercooked it is even heavier. Ovens vary greatly and you may have to adjust your cooking time for doneness in your oven. Please let me know if you need any help and I will try and assist so you can hone your skills! Thank you for watching.
Grazie Phil! I can’t wait to try it! Is the recipe written out somewhere? I did not see it. I really miss the Italian bread I grew up on, I can’t wait to try to make this!
Yes, his video only says to bake one loaf for 10 minutes at 450°...... I have made at least 250 loaves of bread in my life. Bread takes AT LEAST 30 to 40 minutes TOTAL to bake.
My husband’s mother always made 5 loaves of bread plus a pizza every Friday when he was a teenager. Of course they were an Italian family. She was the best cook! I lived across the street and was best friends with his sister so I got to eat all of this delicious food!

Are you using fresh or Instant yeast? I see this combo
Flour. 100%.
Water. 65%.
Salt. 2%.
Yeast. 1.5%.
Nevermind 😀
First I have to say that I love Phil! Love a no nonsense and to the point video. Can't wait to try this out this weekend.

I'm not sure if they all zero or not. I use this one.

Could this be done in a kithen aid stand mixer?
Yes but you should double up on the recipe
This recipe is very good. I am a novice at baking bread and it came out decent but the inside texture, is it supposed to be somewhat heavy? Almost biscuit like.
Hi! The texture of this bread is heavier, yes. Does yours look like what you see in the video? Does it seem to be cooked all the way? Sometimes if it is undercooked it is even heavier. Ovens vary greatly and you may have to adjust your cooking time for doneness in your oven. Please let me know if you need any help and I will try and assist so you can hone your skills! Thank you for watching.

Yes, his video only says to bake one loaf for 10 minutes at 450°...... I have made at least 250 loaves of bread in my life. Bread takes AT LEAST 30 to 40 minutes TOTAL to bake.
