Tools I Used:

Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/3N8ZPUi (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)

Alternative pan:
* https://amzn.to/49UyaOo – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* https://amzn.to/4gnx6Fb – same as the previous pan.

* https://amzn.to/4qCUXVM – my favorite bread lame

This homemade Italian bread is easy to slice, great with butter, and perfect for sandwiches, soups, or the side of any meal. The crust stays crispy, the inside stays soft, and the flavor from semolina gives it that classic Italian bread character.
