Authentic Italian bread recipes for you from our kitchen in Le Marche :
savoury, sweet, machine or hand made - we have the perfect recipe for you.
Let’s be honest. There’s really nothing nicer than the smell of fresh bread. And when that smell is combined with a pot of good coffee and it’s coming from the kitchen of our home in Le Marche - well, there’s just nothing in the world to beat it.
Bread is a staple of the Italian diet and has been since the days of ancient Rome when it was so important it was used as the very first Italian wedding cakes.
These days it’s used with appetisers, in soups as part of salads, to mop up a lovely Italian pasta sauce or just as a pre-dinner snack. You’ll always find it on the table as part of whatever meal is being served.
How much nicer, then, to have at your fingertips some authentic Italian bread recipes which are delicious, yet quick and simple to make.
Here’s our choice of the best.
