2 Reviews of New Orleans French Bread

We really enjoyed this recipe for bread. I made a half recipe of it since we only have 3 of us in our household. I feel the baking time needs to be adjusted. I had my loaves in at the 450 for only 8 minutes and they were plenty brown. I turned down the heat to the 350 and then checked them about 12 minutes later and they were done. My oven runs true to temp to! The inside texture was nice, more like french bread than baguettes. Baguettes tend to have large bubble/holes. The crust is nice and chewy as well. We truly enjoyed this bread with dinner tonight. Thanks!

This makes wonderful bread. It has a chewy crust and nice soft insides. I had a shorter baking time, also. After turning the heat down to 350, I only baked the bread for 20 minutes. I have no idea how accurate my oven is, though. We gobbled up nearly an entire loaf tonight with supper (and there are only 2 of us — sometimes we like a little main course with our bread heheh) and 3 loaves are safely in the freezer. Thanks so much for the recipe!
