Marble Rolling Pin: amzn.to/3tytied
Pastry Brush: amzn.to/3qwz5ip
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbsp instant yeast (I use SAF brand.)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp canola oil (optional)
6 1/2 cups all purpose flour (approximately)
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Add salt, oil and 3 cups of the flour. Beat till smooth. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Cover dough and let it rise for an hour, punching it down if it reaches the top of the bowl.
Divide dough in half. To form loaves, roll each half of the dough into a rectangle about 13 inches long. Then roll it up tightly lengthwise (like you would with cinnamon rolls, just without the cinnamon). Seal the edges by pinching together tightly
Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place the loaves on the cookie sheet and let raise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Brush the tops of the loaves with water and make diagonal slashes on top using a sharp serrated knife.
Bake at 375° for about 25 minutes or till lightly browned. Brush tops with butter if desired.

Made that should say
Add this just now, but with olive oil, and it is lovely, thank you
Thank you for an amazing recipe🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 are they sweet?
They are delicious, but not very sweet. You can sweeten them up with jam or honey butter, but they can also be used as a savory side dish.
@@Creationsbykara thank you very much🎊
Would have been nice for you to give amounts as you add ingredients.
My mom used to make chocolate rice Krispy bars with a top layer of Cheerios
Sounds like a tasty variation!
So rice crispy treats with a cup of peanut butter. Rolled into balls got it!
But without marshmallows. I tried them with marshmallows and didn't like them. But they do have crisp rice cereal, I'll give you that!😂
I just bought a mixer and anxious to make some bread. I noticed that you’re using instant yeast, but you’re proofing it twice. The packet of instant yeast says no proofing necessary. I’m confused. lol
I don't normally proof twice with instant yeast, but for this recipe it does improve the flavor and structure of the bread. You could use regular yeast, I just don't keep it on hand,.Hope that helps!
Alright we’re giving this a try wish me luck!
I’m done and it’s beautiful. I’m still pretty new to baking and this is by far the best looking bread I’ve made yet- and it tastes like I got it from the store, if not better. One of em even looks like it came from the store! 😂 My family loves it, I love it. Thank you!
U r not telling how much u need on each ingredient
There is a list of ingredients with quantities in the comment section, but you can also get a printable recipe card on my website: www.creationsbykara.com/easy-...
Quantities?
Printable recipe card: www.creationsbykara.com/angel-biscuits/
Printable recipe card is good. Would still be nice/helpful to iove the amounts as you add the ingredients.. Would be easy to do.
I made them and they were so cute i even hand man and women cookie cuttera
So happy to hear that they were part of your holiday baking!
Crispy Peanut butter balls yum❤😂
They really are good, hope you give them a try!
Does maple syrup work if u don't have honey?
I haven't tried them with maple syrup, but I think it should work. They won't be quite as sweet, and of course, they will have a slight maple flavor.
Why have you not posted in a year? You would have alot more subs I think.
When I started making the videos, I had an assistant to help me with filming and editing. She had to take time off for personal reasons, and I just haven't been able to find the time to do it all myself. I'm hoping she will be able to start next year, or that I can find someone else. It's a lot of work!
No recipe!
There is a link to a printable recipe right under the description so you don't have to copy and paste from youtube. :)
What is the purpose of the parchment paper at the bottom?
It ensures that your bread won't stick to the bottom of the pan. That can be super frustrating!
French Bread does NOT have any sugar!
This one does. :) But you can feel free to leave it out, or just make another recipe without sugar that calls for fermenting and takes much longer to make.
@@Creationsbykara Just stating that according to French Law, it cannot be French Bread. In 1993, the French Government passed the French Bread Law, a rule that establishes how to make the traditional baguette to protect it from other breads. According to this decree, the traditional baguette can only be made with the following ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast and/or sourdough, and salt. My French blood gets a little irritated with Americans calling their bastardized recipes “French Bread.” It is just American bread, nothing French about it.
Thank you for sharing the reason for your opinion. But, you will notice that I didn't call this a baguette. Just as there are dozens of American breads, there are dozens of French breads. 97% of my readers and followers are in the United States, and this is what they refer to as French Bread, so that is what I call it. Sorry if that irritates you. I know many people want to say a recipe is wrong when it isn't the same one their Italian, Mexican, or French grandma made it. But the joy of cooking is that there are so many delicious versions of the same recipe out there. I'd rather spend my time making and eating delicious food rather than worrying about if other people are doing it the way I think is right. :)
Doesn't give amounts, not good
If you click the link, you can print off the recipe card. :)
Can I use bread flour instead of all purpose flour
Yes, I think that should work just fine.
I must try this recipie, the bisquits look delicious. Thank you for the goodness. God bless you, your family and the production team.
What if you use honey?
I think they are overly sweet with honey, but you can definitely try it!
Looks delicious as always can’t wart to give it a try, thank you for the recipe 🍾️
If you're going to do a recipe video, "little bit of granulated sugar, some yeast" is not a recipe. I hope people will not subscribe to these channels that require you to go to another site when you could have simply put the recipe in the box.
Sorry it was so hard for you. I have started putting the recipe in the box for my newer videos, but this was one of my first. As a TH-cam user, I don't mind having to click a button to get to a recipe. I know it's much easier for me to click a button than it is for the creator of the free recipe to type it again. And going to the original website allows me to print the recipe, which I love.
Much better process.
Hope you love them!
,@@Creationsbykara Thank you
Hi how are you 😊
Can’t find the recipe; could someone post on this link?
The link to the printable recipe is right under the description. You may need to click "see more" if it isn't showing. :)
‘FAST paced, no details’ basic French bread recipe. 👏 🍞 🫧 I’m collecting a series of basic/beginner bread videos to send my nephew. This is a good one to throw in the mix! 😊 The slashes/cuts should be made with a straight edged razor or Bread Lame - the serrated edge was specifically designed to cut the crust of cooked breads and will drag through the dough instead of making a clean slice. Also note, the cuts aren’t to “make it pretty,” although they provide a pleasing aesthetic; they’re to prevent the gases in the bread that provide taste (although this recipe yields a very TIGHT structure) from blowing a hole, quite literally, in the top. You made cuts that are unique to French baguettes. 🥖 One long cut down the center is used & works well for this type of loaf. Although, any cuts should suffice as long as there’s space for the gasses to exit along the entire loaf. 🔪 This is a good recipe for people who 1. don’t want to learn any physiology behind bread ie structure/proofing/taste/etc 2. don’t want to wait for it to proof (which is what adds the flavor) and/or 3. people who are in a profound rush for whatever reason.
Cool
I just did this recipe and it worked great ! Simple and tasty. Thanks alot !
So happy to hear that David! I hope you make it often. 🙂
Are we supposed to guess how much I really want to make some bread today but this video doesn’t even tell us measurements
Oh I forgot to ask how many cookies does this make? Can I also refrigerate the dough and make them later on?
It depends on the size of your cookie cutter, but I usually get about 3 dozen. You can absolutely chill the dough for a day or two. If it's too firm to roll, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
Should I add cloves, cinnamon, or allspice or would that mess with the butterscotch flavor? I’ve never made gingerbread cookies before but I know a lot of them have those spices 😊
My kids aren't fond of cloves or allspice, so they love the mild flavor of these cookies. But you can definitely add them if your family loves that flavor!
@@Creationsbykara thank you! I just made them I increased the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp and added 1/2 tsp cloves and 1/4 tsp nutmeg (per batch). They rolled out like a dream and were SO good, even before we iced them. I also used a Wilson pre shaped baking tray which helped hold their shape. That was honestly the ealsiest way so I didn’t have to roll them. I will most definitely make these again! 😊🙏❤️
@@healthhollow7218 So glad to hear that they were tasty with the addition of other spices as well. And that pre shaped baking sheet sounds awesome!😋❤
@@Creationsbykara oh thank you! I have made two batches so far using the formed pan and also rolling them out myself. Both ways worked really well!
THANK YOU for the precise and short description!😊
You are so welcome! Hope you try the bread and have great results. 😋
Phenomenal. So easy, perfect instruction, great editing. Can you teach us how to make potato soup with dumplings? Watched 100 videos and my dumplings always gummy. You being a pro probably know how to make them. Keep going, you are awesome!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I've actually never made dumplings, so I'd have to learn how first. But it is something on my bucket list!
Yummy
Yes, they are sooo good!
Sounds good to sweet
You can definitely try them with less sugar if you want them less sweet. 😋
It helps to see the video... I think I've probably been adding too much flour to my dough for years.
I think that's a pretty common problem, so I'm glad the video helped. Hopefully you have many more soft and light loaves in your future! 😋
Nice ! Absolutely delicious
I'm so glad you loved it!
I've already made these twice. I love these! Now I am making a variation with just peanut butter with the pecans and coconut and a hint of maple extract as well as the vanilla. They are in the fridge now. I cannot wait to eat them LOL
That sounds like a yummy variation, I'll have to try it!
French bread is amazing! I'm excited to try this :)
You really should, it is seriously AMAZING!
Mine did not thin out like yours it became solid like a ball. I measured all ingredients. I wonder why my was not thin after melting first 3 ingredients and adding next ingredients?
I wonder if it is simply that the peanut butter you used is thicker than the one I used. Mine is quite runny, and drips off the spoon. If yours is thicker than that, it would affect the consistency, but hopefully not the taste. :)
Yes thats probably what it was. But it taste great!!
@@cathythompson1120 Oh good, glad they still tasted great! :)
Jjj
Know someone who loves chocolate covered cherries? These Chocolate Cherry Cookies would make a perfect Valentine's Day treat!

You are so welcome - glad you enjoyed it!
Made these last night, so simple and tastes amazing. Thank you.
So glad to hear you loved them!
Sorry no oil sugar and eggs🤔
Oh man, that's rough. 😟
I dip my peanut butter balls in chocolate and some in white chocolate.
That makes them even more dangerous! haha
