Pane casalingo.. is just being fancy for Italian home made bread!     Making italian bread is so easy..but yet if you don't have the correct flour..it can be a nightmare! 

My suggestion is King Author italian style flour!  

      It's the type of milling done to the flour that makes it italian style!

Gluten molecules play a huge roll in the way your bread turns out!    For that old world flavor and crmbyness, you need to have the right tools and ingrediants.  Oven temperature and baking stones play a huge roll in the making of bread too!  

The best rule of thumb for your oven is HOT!! HOT HOT!!!   450 to 500 degrees..hot and fast......

Ready for this ultra easy recipe!    The video may be a littel different.. feel free to do it thier way too!    It just WON't be the same...yummy delicousness as "The Male Martha's" ..but alasy do what you want.....ooooooh...        DRAMA HU!

                                                

2 cups of warm milk about 100 degrees.  Teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of (regular)yeast.  Add these ingrediant together and let the yeast proof or become bubbly(about5 minutes).  

Add 6 cups of flour..mix and then need out dough for about ten minutes until the dough is silky smooth and kind of feels like your earlobe.

Cut in half and make into loaf shapes or what ever you feel like doing.   Place the dough on a cutting board that has been dusted with corn meal.  Make hash marks shaped like Madonna...(just checking)   Yes make the hash marks!!  Let this double in size!  Don't touch!!!   Once it has doubled in size place in a preheated 450-50 degree oven for twenty minutes.  Remove from heat and absolutely let these cool before cutting!   Wallah!!

Taaadaaaah!   Your a baker man!!!   Aren't you feeling cool right about now!!!!

Later darling!
