This unique high hydration Italian bread is a decadent twist on my favorite recipe. Enriched with milk, egg, and olive oil, but without sugar, it offers a soft, tender crumb that won’t spike your blood sugar. The addition of walnuts, white chocolate, cranberries, and a drizzle of date syrup brings layers of flavor and texture into each slice. If you’re ready to try something indulgent yet mindful, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

This versatile recipe can be used to make excellent Ciabatta rolls, English Muffin bread, or artisan open bake crusty bread with a soft crumb, and big holes.
