Pane Italiano

The simple homemade breads of Italy have become real favorites of American bakers. For good reason: they taste of the earth and of good fresh ingredients. Use organic bread flour here, if you can, or replace the bread flour with clear flour or a portion of Italian-style flour available from The Baker’s Catalogue. The creamy, high-protein semolina flour called for is also known as semolina pasta flour or durum flour.
