Hello, great bread recipe I make it every second day. I need to know where you got your bread pan from, because yours is higher in the middle and if you make Italian bread chances are that they won't touch in the middle. Amazon doesn't sell one like yours. they're all too short in the middle. By the way, your recipe makes good pizza dough just mix 1 1/2 TBSP of Italian spices with the flour, it adds a good flavour to the dough.
I’ve made this perfect bread recipe. So many times. 😇 Thank You So Much 😊 we always eat at least half the loaf right out of The Oven 😂😂😂 Absolutely Amazing
I have baked thousands and thousands of things over the years, but am always interested in how other people do things. You never know when you might learn a thing or two. I have to say that this is one of the best how-to baking videos on YT. No wasted time, no wasted steps. Very well presented.
Great video! And when the bread becomes dry or hard the next day, just give it a quick rinse under the tap and bake it in the oven for about 10 or 15 minutes. The crust will be crisp and the inside nice and soft again 👍🏻
I wanted a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich tonight, but needed bread. I made this and it turned out PERFECTLY! Exactly 40 minutes bread was 190*F. Let it rest a few minutes, then made my sandwich. Amazing! Thank you!
Excellent DIY presentation. This lady has terrific diction, expressions and clarity. Her knowledge is more than commendable...and she's a cuteness overload to boot...good job!!!
This video was everything I needed it to be. It was how to make the bread and that's it. There were no add-ons there was no filler. Nothing that quick precise easy steps and oh my gosh so refreshing!!!
OMG...I made this today never did before and it was absolutely 💯 AMAZING 👏 Thank You for your precious Video and easy directions as well. My husband never eats Bread he ate a half a loaf himself and all the end pieces off the 2 Loafs LOL 😆 This is now a #1 hit in our Family Thank You again. 😊
My favorite. I am going to write down the recipe because I have been baking this bread about three years and every time I have to look it up. Thank you for this great recipe.
Thank you for sharing the recipe and method! I've just finished taking the breads from the oven, and we couldn't resist eating it after letting it cool for 10 minutes! Warm bread with butter melting into it - what can be more delicious. I've baked these breads specifically for a side-dish at our braai (barbeque the South African version), where I mix butter, garlic flakes, cheddar cheese, feta cheese and dried parsley - we call these types of breads "french loafs" and the side dish "garlic loaf". I then section the bread by almost slicing it through, and smear the mixture on the slices. Then I wrap it in tinfoil and put it on the braai grid over a low heat! A note - I dusted the counter top with flour, and then did the rolling - my bread didn't unravel.
I made this yesterday and it turned out great. I ended up making 3 loafs of bread out of it and I had to use some extra flour while rolling it out. I had never made french bread before this, so thank you for the recipe, the family really enjoyed it.
I have a 2 loaf french bread pan, and had a problem with the loaves sticking to the pan. I remedied this by lining the pan with parchment paper. I use the pan for making Cuban bread, but I might try your recipe. It looks really tasty...
I just made two loaves of this using the same pan that you use. For the heck of it after I brushed on the egg I also sprinkled on my “everything bagel” mixture and it was awesome, and I do mean awesome! This is definitely a recipe that I will be using frequently! Thank you again.
Its usually only soft for the first day, I worked in a grocery store and some let the bread cool before packaging, and some don't, if they package it hot it will not last as long at home due to how bread works
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! I followed the directions exactly and did three batches today to gift to my neighbors. My second batch definitely looks the best!!
Just made this recipe. Came out amazing! I used jalapeno everything bagel seasoning on half a loaf and it was beyond amazing. Will be using your recipe weekly!!
I have made bread off and on for many years and I have never got so many compliments as I did with this bread.i think it lasted for a couple of days and if toasted much longer. Very good recipe.
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you. I am new to cooking and this year have learned a lot from your videos, not just this one. But the perfect steak and also cinnamon rolls, and many more. You explain things that are easy to understand, even for this old cowboy. Anyways thank you for the great videos and the help.
I've now made this recipe for two loaves 4 times (using one of the double french loaf pans with holes) and I can say it's the only 'french bread' (American style) recipe that I'm filing away. The family and guests love the loaves - whether just buttered fresh or made into garlic bread with a spread. Thanks!
I used the recipe today with a French bread pan and it was amazing. I put a casserole pan under the bread half full of water. It made the crust extra crispy and it was perfect!!! This is my new recipe; thank you!!!😊
This is one of the best recipes I have seen...making it right now and will get back with you on its turn out.....thanks stay at home mom as I was back in the 90’s
Great job on distinguishing the difference between the 2 styles of bread. I've made baguettes but been craving this market style loaf. Can't wait to try it
This is the Best French bread! All recipes that I have looked at, makes it seems so complicated. This recipe is so easy and it's a keeper. I will be sticking with this recipe, thanks to you ❤
But once you go scale, you'll never go back! I've been baking for 40+ years & only recently started using a scale & it's a total game changer!! No more packing brown sugar, just weigh it, flour is 100% accurate when weighed, but jars of yeast & weigh if you need more or less than a packet. I very highly recommend weighing for more accuracy & consistency with recipes.

Excellent recipe. I now follow the recipe but after the first rise I divide the batch into 12 small mini French loaves. This enables me to bake them and now I have 12 loaves that are perfect for my spouse and I. This way we just pop 1 out of the freezer and let it thaw for 1 hour and put it in the oven for 10 minutes on 225o or microwave it for 30 seconds. Just like the loaves at east side Mario’s or Olive Garden…
This recipe is simple and beautiful. I just made your loaf and it is beautiful! Thank you so much for a straightforward and wonderful bread 🥖 Love and Respect
Excellent video! I’ve been searching for a recipe for homemade bread and THIS Is the one! Fantastic explanation of the reasoning behind the steps! Making this TODAY!
I wanted to thank you for the recipe. I tried it yesterday and my wife and I have decided that yours is the best bread recipe that we have ever tasted. This will be our go to bread.
Thank you for the video. It was very well done. You made everything very easy to follow, and that confidence inspiring. Which translates well into success in the kitchen. I needed this... I don't understand why, but my grocery store bakery makes every white bread the same. It doesn't matter if It's regular white, Italian, or French. All of them taste and feel the same way.
I baked this yesterday and OMG it was amazing; I am baking more today to share with my friends. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe never buy the store bought again lol!
Anyone checking here if this recipe works? Yes, I tried it today and its my first time making french baguette. Omg, just the perfect recipe. I also subscribed to the channel. Many thanks for the recipe🙏😊
Good simple recipe. I actually let one loaf dry on the counter for about 5 days. It makes excellent herbed breadcrumbs! As good as and way cheaper than Panko.
Made this for the first time cut the recipe in half because it’s just my husband and I and it came out perfect thank you thank you thank you for such a great recipe I look forward to more of your recipes.
I made your dinner rolls yesterday. They came out great. I am making your French bread now. Will bake them & freeze till Thanksgiving. What is best way to reheat the bread? Love all your recipes. You make them so easy.
"Whoever sees this Comment, i Hope you achieve Big things in Life 🤞🤞🤞 i Hope you and your Loved ones stay Safe during these Hard times💗💞 God bless you and Your loved ones and have an Amazing day!!!😊💜💙🤍
Sweet Angel ❤️ your message of love and wholesome Goodness is so beautiful I just had to return some of that juicy love to YOU ❤️. In coming hurricane of LOVE to you sister! Love your SOUL ♥️😙♥️
I make your Rye bread every week and its the easiest and best recipe ever! And now I will try this! Thanks for sharing easy and practical recipe to us!
Looks fabulous! I am having company over tonight, making a pasta dish and hoping to made this bread for Garlic toast! I LOVE your videos! So, so good! Thank you so much for sharing and keep up the great work!
Just bought my first KitchenAid stand mixer, and first thing I did was turn heavy whipping cream into butter and buttermilk. Gonna use the buttermilk for pancakes, but the butter, I turned into garlic butter, which is why I'm now here, learning how to make french bread, so I can make some toasted garlic bread! I've gotta say, so far, this is proving WAY cheaper than buying premade pankake mix, and premade garlic bread loaves, plus, the home made butter? OMG, so smooth and velvety! I'll never buy store-bought butter again if I don't have to! I'm really looking forward to how this French bread recipe turns out! Dough is currently in the proofing stage. Thank you for the clear and concise video! I've learned much!
Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe! I made this 3x in 3 days...and it turned out amazing every single time! I am wondering if the dough in this video can be used for other purposes? Rolls? Cinnamon buns? Pizza?
Love this recipe! My first French Bread in my Cuisinart Precision Master and it was awesome! So delicious! I used Bread Flour and did the egg wash too. However, I ended up only using about 4 to 4.5 cups of flour and took it out of the oven at 35 mins. Wish I would have taken out at 28-30 to have it a tad softer on the outside. It was still soft inside but a bit too crispy on he outside. One BIG question I have is; how can I add olive oil to this recipe and what would the alterations be to the water, salt and yeast if I did? I ask because, I made a different French bread recipe tonight that had sugar and olive oil in it, but it lacked the flavor yours has. Its still good, but not as good as yours. I opted out of the egg wash and sprayed water on the dough a few times while baking to get the outside a tad crispy, which worked great. The texture inside is nice and smooth with a light crumble like texture, which I love. So now I want to make your recipe but somehow get the olive oil in the dough to get that inside crumble soft texture. Any thoughts on how to alter the ingredients? Thanks again for all you do! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! And hope you make a baguette video soon!❤️
Mine are on their second rise! I had to go ahead and purchase the bread baking pan you recommended! I can’t wait to try this and so hope that it turns out! Thank you for your wonderful and very precise video! Love your recipes!
Great video ♥️😁. I was looking for a new bread recipe and found you. This was great they came out delicious and I even bought me a french bread pan like yours today. Thank you for sharing. Roxann in Michigan
Look nice easy and delicious. Somehow it didn’t come out good when I made it. With 4 1/2-5 cups of flour my dough was way too thin, so I had to use about 6 cups. When I baked it the crust is too hard (inside is good). Do you sift your flour darling? Love all you recipes. You are amazing, talented chef.
I'm wondering how long it needs to be mixed for with the dough hook? Is it until it comes off easily from the bowl? If anyone has tips on time please let me know. I am totally new to stand mixers
In the middle of the recipe and just wanted to add a note for anyone having problems. I was careful and started with the 4.5 cups of flour. I added the full 5 cups and it was no where near coming away from the mixing bowl. I had to add somewhere between a half and full cup of additional flour to get it to just barely come together (used all purpose flour if it matters). It's still pretty sticky and hard to handle but I didn't want to over flour the dough. Results were pretty good! I haven't made other french bread recipes to compare but I'll just say we're easily going to finish both loaves.
@@bellagab3 it's really hard to gauge as it depends on the speed. Assuming you keep on the 2nd lowest speed, a good 10 minutes should do it. I was about 5 cups as well
@@bellagab3 same. If its higher speeds, it will always pull the dough off the bowl even if its too sticky. 2nd speed is best! ....also, I made the 3rd time now and make it a little sticky to see how soft it was. If you can quickly handle the stickiness, it does come out a bit softer, but not as fluffy.

I’ve made this perfect bread recipe. So many times. 😇 Thank You So Much 😊 we always eat at least half the loaf right out of The Oven 😂😂😂 Absolutely Amazing
@@Mickcotton do you use a packet of yeast or do I need to buy a bag and measure out?

What temp for oven?
@@sherrypurdy9105 I assume the same temp for about 3 to 5 minutes
Wow. This is such a great tip, Thanks!
Thats cool as hell.
Or if you have a freezer, just slice it up, and stick those slices in a ziploc bag!

Cool idea
CAME OUT PERFECT, I TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO PERFECT MY BREAD BUT NOW IT CAME OUT GREAT.

French fan here, thank gosh you cleared up that this is not a baguette-style bread. Love it all the same though, you're awesome! 😊
I’ve made this twice. Superb recipe. On the second time I substituted 1.5 cups of barley flour for a sweeter moister dough. Very good.

In the oven right now 🥰 so excited to see how it turns out. Also splurged on the bread pans😎
Short sweet to the point! Love it, thank you
Now this I want to make. I’d put minced garlic and butter spread on it and broil until golden brown. Then serve with pasta!
Great stuff, going to give this a try. Just love your baking delivery 😀.
Thanks so much 😊
Can I leave the dough over night in the fridge and bake the next day?
Yes. Grease the bowl, and roll the dough around. Cover. Bring to room temp before playing
with it.
Made this and it was a hit. Never buying store bought loaves again!
I'm wondering how long it needs to be mixed for with the dough hook? Is it until it comes off easily from the bowl? If anyone has tips on time please let me know. I am totally new to stand mixers
Love…love…love this recipe. This is my go to recipe. Makes great French bread pizza😊. Thank you for all your great recipes ‼️

In the middle of the recipe and just wanted to add a note for anyone having problems. I was careful and started with the 4.5 cups of flour. I added the full 5 cups and it was no where near coming away from the mixing bowl. I had to add somewhere between a half and full cup of additional flour to get it to just barely come together (used all purpose flour if it matters). It's still pretty sticky and hard to handle but I didn't want to over flour the dough. Results were pretty good! I haven't made other french bread recipes to compare but I'll just say we're easily going to finish both loaves.
This happened to me as well. What I found is to let mix a little longer before adding more. It will really help you to decide how much more to add
@@TheSpenny888 How long do you suggest? I do have a stand mixer so it's much easier at least
@@bellagab3 it's really hard to gauge as it depends on the speed. Assuming you keep on the 2nd lowest speed, a good 10 minutes should do it. I was about 5 cups as well
@@TheSpenny888 I like going at the 2nd lowest since it feels like it's easier on the mixer lol
@@bellagab3 same. If its higher speeds, it will always pull the dough off the bowl even if its too sticky. 2nd speed is best! ....also, I made the 3rd time now and make it a little sticky to see how soft it was. If you can quickly handle the stickiness, it does come out a bit softer, but not as fluffy.
Very very explicit and important 🥰🙏💯😊
