Recipe #337009 | 4¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

This makes a first-rate country French bread in your ABM. My family loves it so much I can't make it fast enough! Makes a 2 lb. loaf. This is also an excellent dough to make by hand. Simply let it raise a couple of times, punch it down in between and bake it off in a 400 degree oven for approximately 30-40 minutes (I don't remember exactly how long). Bread should sound hollow (when tapped) when done.

SERVES 12 , 1 loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cold water (yes, cold)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups bread flour (if using all-purpose flour, substitute 3 tabl. flour with 3 tabl. vital gluten)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast

Directions

  1. 1
    Measure all ingredients into pan in order given.
  2. 2
    Use French setting and medium or dark crust (depending on your preference and your machine).

This is excellent. I could not believe cold water but followed exactly and WHOA nelly, thid makes a huge loaf of bread plus. I made a 1 lb loaf of bread plus 8 rolls for dinner sandwich size. The taste is light but fragrant. I followed the AP flour with wheat gluten directions. Thank you so much for those. Will be made often!!! ZWT Kitchen Witches

    This is indeed an excellent bread and so simple to prepare. We loved the texture, and it is great toasted or untoasted. I made it in my ABM this time, and next time will try using the ABM simply to mix the dough, and shape the loaf by hand. Thank you for a simple, wholesome and delicious recipe, UC! This recipe was made in loving tribute to Little Bit.
