Homemade French Bread (abm)

This is some of the best french bread I have ever tried !<br/>My third time making it. Thanks for the great recipe!

My 3, 6, and 8-yr. old grand-daughters had a lot of fun making their own small loaves of bread. I cut the batch of dough into 3 pieces and they each formed their own. I was so surprised how few simple ingredients made such good tasting bread. I did have to add quite a bit of extra flour to obtain the right consistency in my machine. I know we will make this bread often in the future.<br/> Thanks for posting this recipe.

Perfect French Bread recipe. Even better than the French Bread served on NCL cruises. NCL takes great pride in their breads but this tops them. Thanks for posting it.

fantastic bread!! i followed the directions exactly and it came out perfectly. i was a little disappointed in myself because i forgot to do the egg wash - it would have looked so good! anyways, turned it into a loaf of garlic bread and the family couldn't get enough of it. i made it last weekend, and i'm going to make it again today. its a snowy day here, so i'm making some broccoli soup and this bread (but i think i'm going to try sprinkling some grated cheddar on the dough when i roll it out. thanks for a great recipe!!

This is INCREDIBLE bread!! I have made a lot of bread over the years, but this one is definitely one of the best! 10 stars, all the way! Yes, the dough was rather sticky at the end of the dough cycle, but it baked up beautifully. This makes a huge loaf and the four of us ate almost all of it with our supper. The rest was used for sandwiches the next day and it was still excellent. I highly recommend you serve it with Recipe #196850. The combination was sublime! This is our new favorite French bread and the ease of making the dough in the bread machine is another huge plus. Thanks for sharing this divine bread recipe!
