I baked this in the bread machine and think it might have been better had I just used the dough cycle and baked in the oven. Nice, basic French bread.

Great bread, crispy outside chewy inside, excellent flavor and texture. I also used the dough cycle then let it rise for about another 1 on top of the warm stove. After baking it I cut 6 deep slits in the loaf, spread garlic butter inside the slits then stuffed with cheese and baked for another 15 minutes. YUMMY! Thanks.

DH made this bread and is now quite chuffed with himself, and as well he should be. it turned out beautifully. he only used the dough cycle of our machine. afterwards he rolled it out into a rectangle, rolled it up the long end, shaped it, brushed with olive oil and then let rise a for an hour. when it doubled, he applied an eggwash and sesame seeds and baked it for 25min at 400F. i have to mention that i have previously baked this bread in the ABM myself, and would definitely recommend using the ABM only for the dough cycle and then finishing it off the in oven. the results are far superior this way.

This bread had a great texture, and was delicious with the potato soup I made tonight! I prepared the dough in the bread machine, then punched it down on a floured board, letting it rise a second time in a bread pan. I baked it for about 20 minutes at 350F. It rose well, and sliced easily. Everyone loved it, and I'll be making it again. Thanks!
