Very Easy French Bread Recipe


Very Easy French Bread Recipe
This is a really easy way to impress people with homemade bread...you let your food processor do the work for you. Try the ice cube trick to get a nice crunchy exterior. Very simple and notice there is no fat.

Ingredients
  • 2 packages yeast
  • 2 1/4 cup water 90-100 degrees
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Ice Cubes, just a handful

Directions
  1. In a food processor, add yeast, 1/4 cup water, whirl to combine
  2. Add flour and salt, process
  3. Add water slowly to form a ball
  4. Remove and knead on floured surface for a few minutes
  5. Place in a bowl and allow to rise until doubled, about an hour
  6. Divide in half, and form two loaves
  7. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes
  8. **The secret to a nice crusty exterior is to throw a handful of ice on the bottom of the hot oven when you first put the bread in. This creates steam which develops the crust we all love on french bread.
