This is an Italian white bread from Mom's grandmother, Antoinette Nasuti. Every Sunday Mom would go to her grandmother's and this is the smell she most associates with their home. It was always warm and fresh out of the oven.
6 cups flour
2 packages of dry yeast
tsp olive oil
pinch of salt
warm water
Mix ingredients. Cover in an air tight container and let sit in a warm spot approximately 4 hours, until it increases 3 times its volume. Put on floured board. Cut and shape into loaves. Stand 15 minutes. Bake in oven 40 minutes. 425 to start (20 minutes). 400 to finish (20 minutes).
