Don’t get me wrong I love the fact that I have countless channels at my finger tips and I can watch pretty much anything I want at any time that being said there was something to being able to watch Julia child some 50 years ago I love the music. I love her voice. I love her enthusiasm Times certainly simpler back then.
Julia taught me so much more than just cooking. She made hardly no money from PBS and had to buy her own ingredients, even though she earned lots of money for the station. She loved to cook delicious food, and her joy was in sharing her hard won knowledge with Americans. The first cookbook took 7 yrs to complete because she had to test and convert French ingredients to what was available in American grocery stores. Most of the recipes are French country cooking. She went to school and cooked in her tiny Paris kitchen. She was the only woman in her class, but her passion and funny personality won over her professor and the other students. Thank you, Julia. I know Heaven is a sweeter place because you’re there. Patricia
@@shaddonon actually, California. Her father was in real estate, I think. They purchased their fancy car in Europe from Julia's trust, which also paid the bills when they were short. They brought their car back on the ship they returned to the US on. What a life.
This reminds me of when I was in Paris. I was talking to a local and I said, "I'd love to learn how to make French bread." The woman laughed and said, "Why would you want to do that? Have you SEEN how many boulangeries there are in Paris?"
@@jody024you think it is easy to make French baguette I’m a chef and pastry chef it took me 1 year just to prefect a French bread it’s hard than you think
BEAUTIFUL! Amazing episode. my favorite of all breads. similar to the Mexican bolillo bread introduced by the French! i could eat French bread all day every day! Les écoles de meunerie is still around.
@@BruteForce. since it's summer, if you can get your hands on homegrown tomatoes, OMG, this is delicious. The pain is waiting for the tomatoes to be ripe and juicy. This is what I have made for the last 30 years with the first tomato of the season, slice the tomato thinly, add extra virgin olive oil .. oh, duh, cut your french bread into about 3/4ths inch slices or .5, because the bread is the vessel, coat the bread with the EVOO, not a lot. I put my thumb on the bottle top and drizzle, or if you have an oil bottle, then take a garlic glove and kind of smash the end and rub the bread. If you don't have a garlic glove, just use garlic powder, or you can eliminate the garlic ... now, your choice, I make several varieties ... then add cheese of your choice ... we use fresh mozzarella and parmesean if I have it .. not out of the can ... also Swiss because it's my favorite ... then thinly sliced tomato, ... now, again your choice, you can put the tomato and any herb of your choice, you can use dried, first, then the cheese, but i prefer tomato on top of cheese ... put it under the broiler .. leave the oven door cracked and watch it like a hawk, when cheese is melted, remove immediately... it's literally a second between perfect and burnt ... garnish with fresh torn fresh basil or parsley, or just plain ... after the first bite I always say, kings do not eat better than this. Then later I make a grilled tomato and Swiss cheese grilled sandwich, with a glass of fresh brewed iced tea with lemon and say the same thing. But honestly, please give it a try, especially if you bake your own bread .. I'm going to give it a try ... I've tried several breads over the years, especially thinking Italian or a French country bread or sour dough would work well. While it was still good, the baguette works best with the crunchy exterior and the soft middle ... Heaven. I live in Richmond, Virginia and we have had awful weather since May, highs in the upper 90s and 100s almost daily. The poor tomatoes are literally cooking on the vine. I replanted in early July hoping to get some by September. Sorry for the long response, but please give this a try. It's absolutely delicious. Simple delicious food, which should be enjoyed with relish, was what Julia was all about. Somewhere there's a video where she was saying she used to really like mcdonalds French fries, but the mothers complained about the oil, so they changed and now they're not as good. Totally agree. Cheers, Patricia
How timely! I just got a pan expressly designed for baking the perfect French baguette! I shall.tap into the ether and attempt to channel her helpful spirit for its inaugural implementation. Beau courage, indeed!
Grabbed my post it note pad thinking this should be quick, Thankfully I have this video I can refer to if I can't read my writing, LOL... Definitely going to try this one. Even ordered French flour. I'll try not to chuck my scrapper.
in an amusing coincidence, I had just put my french breads baking (having learned the method 30 years ago from Julia) when I got recommended this video, lol. The bread is delicious!
I believe she stated that this was the recipe that she was the most proud of as she did a lot of research and trial and error....but it's the recipe that the fewest people attempt. I am a huge Julia fan and routinely cook from her books....and I have never tried to do this one.
Julia Child’s Plain French Bread Ingredients: 3 and a half cups of flour 1 and a half cups of water A pack of dry yeast (instant will do) 2 and a half teaspoons of salt 1 tablespoon of water Cooking Instructions: Get your mixer, and pour in warm water. Dry it. Pour in the flour and salt. Start your mixer in medium speed. You might need to scrape the mixture from the sides, to keep everything in the center. Make sure you have your spatula beside you. In a separate bowl, get your 1 and a half cups of water, and pour in your yeast. Mix it well, until the yeast is fully activated. Pour in the yeast mixture into the mixer. After adding the yeast, the dough should already be forming a ball, and none of the mixture is sticking on the sides of the mixing bowl. Start adding your flour gradually. Do it in small portions. Take out the dough from the mixer, and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes. Start kneading your dough. You can do this by hand, but I prefer to use a mixer for convenience. If you are going to use a mixer, make sure that your hook is clean and dry again, before using. Check the consistency of your dough. I do this by pressing my finger on the dough. If the dough springs back, then this tells me that I do not need to knead anymore. Get a bowl and pour in warm water again. Dry it, and make sure to grease it with butter or oil, to prevent the dough from sticking. I use Pam, by the way. Place your kneaded dough inside the bowl, and cover it with a cling wrap. Let it rest for at least 2 to three hours. Get your dough and make a square form. Fold one end to the other, until it forms a triangle. Do this step several times on every side. Turn your dough into a circular form, and slightly flatten it. Put the dough inside a bowl again, and cover with cling wrap. Let it sit there for about an hour, or until it already tripled its size. Get a parchment paper and a flat wooden tray. Place your dough on top of the tray with parchment, and cover the dough with a bowl, and let it rise again. It should triple the size once more. Preheat oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Place a pan with water and a baking stone in the oven Make a few deep slits on top of your dough, and brush it with water Place your dough on top of the parchment paper, and place it on top of the baking stone inside the preheated oven. Start baking. Refill the warm water in your pan after six minutes, and make sure to brush your dough with water at least every 3 minutes (do this 3X - 3rd min, 6th, and 9th). After 6 minutes of baking, remove the parchment, and allow the bread to bake on top of the baking stone directly. Bake for at least 25 minutes, or until you see a golden brown color on top.
@@behringerm Sorry to correct, but the ingredients and measurements are: one packet of active dry yeast dissolved (per the package), 3-1/2 cups ap flour, 2-1/4 tsp salt, 1-1/4 cup tepid water. Best to watch and take notes, Veronica. Behringerm's measurements are incorrect.

Hehehe Yup, it's actually rare for a French person to make bread at home, even back then. They relied on the local bakery.
Preach! 👍😎
Sure there lots of them in Paris…..but not here in the USA.
Just watching one OG watch a double OG prepare a baguette is priceless.
I love how the knife goes flying away and she ignores it! ❤

Such a remarkable woman.👏👏👍👍👍
Thank you Julia Child ❤
The penultimate episode of Season 7. Broadcast March of 1971.

I use to know a stewardes that flew to paris and would bing me bread from there!!
It was always the best!!

I knew I knew her voice from my childhood! Lets hear it for her role in one of my childhood favorite movies, "We're Back" ❤
Such a legend and icon. Wow baking is so time consuming and complicated with the resting, spray guns, and yeast
After three weeks I now have a loaf of bread
You give me hope yet😊😊😊🤣

5:24. One of Julia’s patented gaffes which she shrugs off with her usual humour and aplomb.
I love her chuckle/ giggle. She had a fun sense of humor😍I really hoping she has a trash can beside her, otherwise she’s throwing stuff on the floor😅
Was definitely not expecting Julia Child to quote Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
De bello gallico, not del.

Fresh French Bread 🥖 and Irish Butter 🧈.

No not hammered, just enthusiastic, not too tainted by the showiness of modern television and unscripted! So fresh!!!

Too bad they didn't have these film segments in the earlier shows. As I heard once, the early ones had a very tight budget,
I wish they would have given us the receipe!!
The Brahmin accent together with her wonderfulness is adorable❤
Classic 😊😅😮🎉😢😂❤

Hi! Google; Julia Childs recipe for french bread. Of those listed, I would go with Taste of Home. ❤ 🥖🤗
Julia Child’s Plain French Bread
Ingredients:
3 and a half cups of flour
1 and a half cups of water
A pack of dry yeast (instant will do)
2 and a half teaspoons of salt
1 tablespoon of water
Cooking Instructions:
Get your mixer, and pour in warm water. Dry it.
Pour in the flour and salt.
Start your mixer in medium speed. You might need to scrape the mixture from the sides, to keep everything in the center. Make sure you have your spatula beside you.
In a separate bowl, get your 1 and a half cups of water, and pour in your yeast. Mix it well, until the yeast is fully activated.
Pour in the yeast mixture into the mixer.
After adding the yeast, the dough should already be forming a ball, and none of the mixture is sticking on the sides of the mixing bowl.
Start adding your flour gradually. Do it in small portions.
Take out the dough from the mixer, and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes.
Start kneading your dough. You can do this by hand, but I prefer to use a mixer for convenience. If you are going to use a mixer, make sure that your hook is clean and dry again, before using.
Check the consistency of your dough. I do this by pressing my finger on the dough. If the dough springs back, then this tells me that I do not need to knead anymore.
Get a bowl and pour in warm water again. Dry it, and make sure to grease it with butter or oil, to prevent the dough from sticking. I use Pam, by the way.
Place your kneaded dough inside the bowl, and cover it with a cling wrap. Let it rest for at least 2 to three hours.

Preheat oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.
Place a pan with water and a baking stone in the oven
Make a few deep slits on top of your dough, and brush it with water

Refill the warm water in your pan after six minutes, and make sure to brush your dough with water at least every 3 minutes (do this 3X - 3rd min, 6th, and 9th). After 6 minutes of baking, remove the parchment, and allow the bread to bake on top of the baking stone directly.
