Just made this week for garlic bread with cheese and spaghetti. Will never buy store bought again. All your recipes never seem to fail. Made the no knead again also. Next is the traditional bread, wish me luck!

In reply to melissa. Hi Melissa! Yes, this is possible, with a few tricks. Prepare the dough as directed place it into an oiled, large, deep bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let rise for about 30 minutes. Remove the towel or wrap and cover the bowl with a tight-fititing lid or a couple of layers of plastic wrap. Place the bowl into the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove the dough from the fridge and let come to room temperature (about an hour). Shape into loaves, let rise again and then bake as directed.

This Italian bread turned out perfectly light and fluffy on the inside! I can't believe I made this bread... it was so easy and tasted GREAT!

In reply to Happy. King Arthur is my go-to for high altitude baking adjustments

Any suggestions for how to convert this to high altitude? I live at 6,500 feet above sea level. Thanks!

In reply to Chrissy. Hi Chrissy. Without significantly altering this recipe and using a flour alternative, there is no way to make this low-carb. Also, the order in which you place the ingredients into the bread machine matter, hence why I break that down for you.

Is there a way to make this low carb? Also confused about bread machine instructions. I thought by using a bread machine you just add all ingredients and let the machine do it’s thing until bread is done.

In reply to Courtney Mason. Hi Courtney! I am happy to hear you have had success with this in the past. It sounds like you are right, you may not have added enough flour. Simply knead more flour into the dough and let it rest for another 30 minutes to rise again.

The first time I made this recipe it turned out SO great (I felt very accomplished haha).

But I just made it again and the dough seems to be very sticky and wont hold much shape after it rose, punched it down and tried giving it some bread shape but it just flattened out, I am thinking I may not have added enough flour? Just curious if you have any recommendations for sticky bread dough fixes! Thank you!

More question than comment - I added the olive oil to the dough, and the dough needed more flour. Do I need to increase the amount of flour by a bit if I am adding more liquid? The dough felt a little wet to me when I checked it, but I waiting til I took it out of the dough cylce where it stuck to my hands. Added more flour, kneaded it and put out to rise. We'll see how the end result it. Thanks for you input

This recipe confused me a bit. The differences between the post and the actual recipe had me missing a few steps. I’ll try it again tomorrow!
