9 Reviews of Bread Machine French Bread (simple, simple, simple)

From: Loves2Teach

On Mar 5, 2003

This is an easy, tasty loaf of bread! Perfect for those of us (me included) that are afraid of bread making. I have even made it on my breadmakers quick cycle, and it is still perfect and tasty! I am going to make it for the third time right now! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

    Thanks, princess buttercup, this is a great recipe. No fuss, no muss. I like things easy and quick. Stuck this in the machine last night and just used dough cycle. Tried to make two thin baguetts, but my yeast is just too good. Anyway we liked the flavor and texture of the bread.

    I have made a few loaves with my new bread machine now..this recipe was one that gave the 'perfect' shape loaf..(I was very excited..lol) It also tastes great..light and fluffy with a great crusty crust. Thanks for sharing. This is one of those 'how can something so simple be so darn good' recipes.

    This has great texture. I made mine on dough cycle and let it rise on a baking sheet and than baked in oven at 350' for 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing this simple recipe.

    I made this today, the whole thing in the bread machine. It was easy and it turned out great. Although it doesn't look like a typical french bread it tasted exactly like one. Everyone gave it 5 stars. I will make this often. thanks for sharing

    Beautiful! I did the whole thing in the bread machine and it was perfect - like another reviewer said, it didn't look much like French bread, but the texture and crust were perfect! Thanks for posting!

    This made a beautiful loaf and it was nice and crispy on the outside and soft and dense on the inside. I gave it away to our new neighbors.
