This bread is easy to make but will impress the hell out of your friends and family. Unlike the local bakery, my oven does not have a steam option. Steam is vital in the first few minutes of baking bread as it keeps the surface of the bread moist and allows for proper rising. Using a casserole means that the bread bakes using its own steam, problem solved.
I call this the Sunday Italian loaf because I bake it almost every Sunday. Sunday is my only day off and a quick loaf of bread to go with the braai is vital.
The high amount of yeast helps with quick fermentation, which means I can start at 7 am and have the bread ready at lunchtime.
