It is so easy to make and is the perfect side for any kind of soup or Italian dish I know you are going to love the golden, crispy outside and the chewy inside of this amazing bread!

    French Bread (makes 2 large loaves)
    Dissolve 1 Tbsp. dry active yeast and 1-1/2 cups warm water together in a small bowl.
    Meanwhile, combine in a large bowl:
    4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1 Tbsp. sugar
    2 Tbsp. oil
    Then, pour in yeast/water blend and mix well. The dough will be very stiff, but that's ok. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then stir it up again using a big, wooden spoon in a pulling motion. Repeat this process 5 more times until one complete hour has passed.
    Grease two baking sheets and set aside. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and divide into two equal pieces. Roll each piece out into an oval shape using a rolling pin and additional flour if needed. Beginning on the longest side, roll the dough into a loaf. Then, pinch the seam and the tapered ends. Place dough on the baking sheet, seam side down. Slice 1/4" to 1/2" long diagonal slashes 4 times on the top of each loaf. Set loaves aside in a warm place and allow to rise for 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 25 minutes until loaves are a golden brown. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!!!
    Note: You can also make 12 rolls instead of the loaves!!

    love recipe I myself would one mix the yeast sugar and water in big bowl ( the main bowl you will mix the bread dough ) =reason i hate dishes lol ... and I find feeding my yeast with sugar helps me make better product . let sit till yeast proofs meanwhile mix the flour salt oil etc in another bowl slowly incorporate flour into proofed yeast then after rolling up and sealing dough i would take and dip my finger tip make dough slightly damp and pinch seal it .. just like one would do with homemade pie crust I Was taught this by my granny I am one who ends up having trouble with my pie crust at times tearing so the water trick really helps !

    Hi Ozark family My husband and I are attempting to make this meal of the homemade French bread and the lasagna soup I'm trying to make a half batch of the lasagna soup so I'm hoping it turns out because I know even a half batch will be eating leftovers for quite a while with it and then with the French bread I'm planning on making a hole recipe and then freezing some of it like you said because we'll never be able to eat a whole loaf let alone too in one sitting. We really enjoy watching you and think your kids are very well-mannered and helpful and it's refreshing because they seem to not have the attitude that most kids their age have today so I hope you guys are having a good day and hopefully Sean is feeling better from his kidney stones Love from Monica and Heath

A family, not related to me as far as I know at this time has a very important history. They baked their Bible in the homemade bread. It will be interesting for your family to know that. God Bless.

    I mix and knead all of my breads with my hands and without the aid of mixer or bread machine. I love hand kneading as it is so therapeutic to me. I make regular bread, Italian bread and sourdough but I have never made French. Some days, I literally mix the dry and wet ingredients with my bare hands and other days I use a wooden spoon.
