ITALIAN STYLE BREAD

One of the most popular savoury bread recipes! This recipe requires ingredients to be added part way through the programme. Whenever heavier ingredients are called for such as chopped nuts or dried fruit etc, it is best to add these part way through the second kneading step. The reason for this is because we want these ingredients to retain their shape and to distribute evenly throughout the loaf. If we added these ingredients at the start, the powerful kneading action of the machine would chop them into tiny pieces and force them to the bottom of the dough!

The Prima Home Bakery will beep to remind you to add these ingredients Refer to the chart (p15) for the timings but expect the beep towards the end of the second kneading step. On the NORMAL (1) programme the beeps will sound when the clock reads 2:57 for a 2lb loaf and 2:50 for 1.5lb loaf. If you are using any other programme add these ingredients about 5 minutes before the end of the second kneading step (refer to chart).
