Delightful! Haven't made my own bread in years. Saving this one.


I haven't made bread in awhile either. This sounds easy enough.
Do you use a loaf pan or shape and put on a sheet?


Thanks! I'm glad you added this recipe here.

Thanks. I just started making bread and I am loving it. My kids are too!


Great recipe a definite 5!


This recipe is quite different from all the other French bread recipes in GR.


I'll be trying this on Sunday! Sounds so easy! Very few ingredients! I hope it turns out just like the photo! Looks perfect!


I just made this and it is perfect!!! I made it exactly as written! I baked it for 30 minutes and the crust is nice and brown...just the way I like it! The inside is just the right texture. This tastes just like bread that I get at the bakery! I don't have to buy bread anymore...now I can make it at home! Oh, and it makes your house smell delicious!!! I added my photo!


How delicious this is. Points it is good to be different. 5 from me.
