Italian Bread Recipes are Essential to the Italian Lifestyle
Italians have a way of life which is unique to other European countries. Firstly Italians are sociable creatures, not stuck up and pretentious. Italians speak loudly and gesticulate. They are generally uninhibited. Italians enjoy dinners after 9 pm and sit together at large tables where they eat delicious food and talk about everything under the sun including Italian Bread Recipes.
Italians like to linger longer at the table; so soaking the bread into the remains of a delicious sauce is a worthy reason for staying on, chatting and drinking wine. The bread is of course fresh out of the oven and quite irresistible. The bread which arrives on the table is naturally a conversation piece and the cook knows that his / her cooking skills will be judged by the bread.
A popular bread amongst Italians is a type of milk bread. It's baked with milk, water, flour and olive oil. It has a round shape, with an indented cross in the middle - it looks like a large hot cross bun. The surface is browned and crisped and the inside is white as snow. The texture is airy. Don't even try to compare this to your standard commercial loaf of white bread.
