Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking
By Marcella Hazan
Knopf - 1992
Mantovana - Olive Oil Bread : page 635
This recipe produces the most delicious bread. The crust is exceptional and the interior soft and tender. It is my family's favourite recipe. I have even made it with a few cups of whole wheat flour and my health phobic teenage nephew still ate several slices. If you are a carb addict, make this bread!
Be warned at 5 cups or so of flour you will need a mixer with some decent power or be prepared to knead by hand.
The directions are a bit all over the place as they advice how to make by hand or food processor so you have to read between the lines. I have only made in my stand mixer.
The pages are well worn to this recipe but I am posting just now as I am new to this site.
