Note just above recipe says this is light as angel food cake but doesn't have all the sugar and is a good ending to any Italian dinner. Slice it thin and use as a basis for strawberry shortcake if you want or serve it plain alongside some fruit and cheeses.

1. Process according to manufacturer's instructions for basic bread.

2. Turn out immediately onto a rack to cool. Wrap in foil to store.
