How Italians Make BREAD | Simple Recipes for Amazing Bread

It can be argued that bread is a more important staple in Italy than pasta! Maybe we should change our channel name to "Bread Grammar." In light of this, it's about time Eva shares her Italian methods for making incredible, homemade bread!

I'm a professional baker in a country where yeasted bread aren't very popular. We wait long for customers to order sourdough artisanal Breads. Making these breads is a journey in itself, it requires devotion and motivation but once you are in there's no return. Thanks for sharing your journey and showing people how much hard work goes into one single bread. Most people think it's just a product they can buy with money. It's science, hard work, passion and patience altogether in one bread.

I know this vid is a couple of years old, but my husband (who is retiring in the new year, and casting about for retired guy hobbies) told me he found an english cook easy recipe for baguette. I countered with this vid and recipe for ciabatta. He made his first ever ciabatta today. We had it with chicken cutlets for dinner, and it was fabulous. I am so glad he followed your recipe. I have a suspicion that we will be seeing you for real at some point for a visit to Italy and one of your week of classes.

I love how Eva makes everything she shows us soooo accessible, I have made ciabatta a few times and the instructions were always so difficult, this has been an absolute revelation watching you make this and I can't wait to try Eva's way of doing things, you never fail to bring amazing traditional recipes to regular people, thank you so much, much love to you both xxx

What I enjoy most about your videos is that there is always a logical reason for the way Italians cook, and that you explain that. Also Eva always makes the point that vegetables are supposed to have flavor - not the cardboard type we find here in the US. Which is why I grow my own. It's an important concept.

you are a BREAD-MASTER, Eva. you make all of the breads look simple and amazing while other bakers give us a ton of instruction that I lost count. open a restaurant asap please <3

Thank you for this cornbread recipe. I am going to make it for my 85 year old mother. She kept telling me she remembers Nonna making bread all the time in Calabria but her favorite was some kind of cornbread with oregano and hot pepper flakes. She could not remember how they made it. Now I will surprise her.

Ragazzi siete favolosi Eva Non solo cucini benissimo, sei spiritosa, divertente. I vostri filmati vanno oltre i tutorial, siete una coppia di divulgatori di cultura gastronomica italiana. Mi fate sentire orgogliosa. Bravissimi!

So precious that you appreciate your wife’s gifts!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! I am so interested in trying my own hand in baking bread! My family is Italian and I remember my dad baking bread, unfortunately he is no longer with us and as a child I had no interest in learning. The things we regret as adults!
Thank you so much for posting! Keep up the good work! New subbie here!!!

Ava, I made your Ciabotta recipe. You make it so easy to follow. I made 2 loaves. When my family came in for dinner one and a half loaves was gone before dinner. I should have made a double batch. So flavorful I like that you add the salt on the 2nd proof it makes it taste so much more flavorful. Thank you for that great recipe.

Love seeing Eva smile, happy, and joking around! The bread recipes were awesome, thank you! 😁

In Southern food, most notably known as Soul Food to Black Americans, we love cornbread and black eyed peas, so I’ll definitely try the Italian version. This channel is making me realize that Italian food is one of my favorite. Eva is making me want to visit Italy. The people seem so loving and no BS. Lol. I made the classic tomato sauce with rigatoni & parmigiana, I can’t stop eating it! You guys are making cooking so approachable and fun 🤩.

thank you for sharing all things italian! i think your episodes are very unique and a breath of fresh air.

my italian family has been separated from us due to divorce so i never had the opportunity to experience that part of my heritage. today after a few episodes i’m making my first bruschetta and home made pasta! hope to attend one of your tours some day! from the bottom of my heart, grazie

[pennykay]

My husband recently discovered your channel and now we are both hooked! I really hope you do an Italian Tour in the summer. We would love the chance to go. Keep making these great Italian recipes and we'll keep watching. His family originally came from Piedmont a long time ago.

When you think back on the history of the Roman Empire and how important these breads were, it’s pretty crazy to think of. They went to war over the wheat supply, the entire reign of an emperor could depend upon whether he could keep Rome supplied with wheat. That’s one of the reasons Rome was so interested in Egypt.

As a guy from Germany - considered as THE bread nation (with the most varieties) - I enjoyed that video SO much... how Eva teached Harper what bread really is. And he learned his lesson well... the litany of ingredients of the pre-packed "italian bread" says it all! ;-))

It's nice to see a bread episode. I started baking my own bread maybe 7 years ago and then switched to making only naturally leavened (sourdough) breads, rolls, pizza dough, pastries, etc about five years ago. The alchemy of mixing water, flour, and salt together in different combinations and ending up with entirety different results still amazes me.

What is so beautiful is how gentle Eva's hand movements are.

I was at one time a professional baker of Italian breads.
I worked for Gentiles bakery in Philadelphia and my boss Dan Gentile Sr was born 1912.
Dan was a baker of hand made Italian bread 50 years before he hired me.
My tips I can give you when you make dough will better your product 100%.
The main problem with people who make dough at home is they have central air, ceiling fans, open windows and sometimes open doors.
When you work with dough all that has to be turned off or closed tight.
If your dough gets hit with air it will get a skin and then it’s trash.
You gotta sweat to make bread, that’s just how it is…it’s a hot job.
When you cook the product it’s safe to turn fans and AC back on…
We cooked at 410 degrees, I see 500 as normal temps to cook home bread.
Gotta slow it down 410 will do it….

Sourdough bread is labor of love. My daughter is an artisanal baker in Fort Wayne, IN. She sales at a local year round farmer's market. Her sourdough bread is the first to go. Thank you Eva. You are one very talented woman-not only are you a great cook, you are a very good baker and a teacher! I did not learn much about baking while growing up, but I did learn how to can and freeze foods in my early 20s. I am grateful that I have this knowledge. My daughter is considering letting me help her make jellies to sell at her market stand, along with the bread and pastries. I'm the head dishwasher!
