Made this recipe for french bread last weekend. OMGosh! I made soup and wanted garlic bread to go with it. I baked the bread. It looked like it came from a bakery when I was done. I then sliced it up to make toasted garlic bread. It came out great. Hubby says no more store bought french bread.
I have used several different recipes for french bread trying to find the right one! Finally I have found the best!! Thank you so much. I'm new to bread making and I love it. You also taught some techniques I didn't know! Once again thank you and may God Bless you.🌾🍞❤🇺🇸
OMG. Seriously I have a terrible time with bread and this came out perfectly. Like no sh*t I've made six batches of bread in the last 2 weeks and this was the first one that came out perfectly. Wish I could post a photo!!
Today marks the 3rd attempt making french bread. The last two times, although edible, the end result left much to be desired. So today I watched your video and changed the way I mixed the flour with yeast/water. I also emulated your bread blender gadget, using a dinner knife to stir instead of a spoon. The bread turned out so much better - the best so far. I do not use the egg for browning - but that is okay. I also halved ingredients since I am cooking for myself as to not waste flour, etc.
I've tried to make bread three times the first try tasted more fermented than like bread and got really stale insanely fast. For the second attempt I used a different recipe that turned out much better and tasted the most like the type of bread you'd find in a bakery but was really lacking in that crunch crust. Mom recommended that I let it rise for a little bit longer so for the third attempt I tried the same recipe but let it rise over night. It doesn't help that I burnt the bread that time but it, yet again, had that fermented flavor. I also have to take away some points from the third attempt because mom wouldn't stop bothering me about the house smelling really bad when it was rising. I'm planning on trying this recipe which is basically the same as the one I used for attempts two and three but with a different mixing pattern just like yours so hopefully I won't mess it up
I used to work in a retail bakery and the best thing is a spray bottle, keep the loaf moist borderline wet as it proofs. When you put it in the over spray some water in there for steam and again at 2 min inand it'll be perfect
So you are like a genius. After spending so much time youtubing and wasting so much flour trying different recipes, this has to be the best French bread recipe out of them all.
This recipe is great! I made it by hand and was kind of nervous at first... but it came out toasty from the outside and soft and pillowy from the inside. The flavor is good too...I will definitely make again. Thank you so much for this recipe.
I have made your recipe so many times. All my friends at church ask me to make it for pot lucks all the time. It's our favorite! Thank you so much. You're a great teacher
I can never get my dough to rise that much. One thing i did notice is the point you made bout adding flour as you go. I believe i didn't add enough flour. Kinds sticky. Great job. Thank you 🙏🏽
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your recipe and bread making skills, and for explaining things step by step! Great tutorial and I cannot wait to try making this! Your recipe is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!!! Thanks again!
Making your recipe and it’s been a dream for me to learn. This is my first time making French Bread and am so excited. I will leave my review and I am positive it will be amazing.
Love your receipt! I made it 2 times already and it came out so good! I don't have french bread pan so I fold the parchement paper to make divider between the doughs and it seems to work fine to me. How exciting that I can make my own french bread !!
Tried this recipe and my dad said it’s the best bread he has had in his entire life. Better than store-bought. I am wondering if I can follow this recipe and divide into 8 instead of 2?
I'm glad you stressed to add the Flour in intervals.. Excellent video. Your right I did indeed have the Items in the house to make this recipe. Homemade bread this time of the year is so complimentary..
Great job! Looks so yummy......wish I was there for a piece of hot bread and melted butter....my favorite! I was just looking for a recipe quick and easy for dinner. I'm going to give it a try. Thank you so much for showing me and giving me a simple great recipe to try.🥰
Your recipe looks very yummy, I can’t wait to try!...I have a question, you measured 2 1/2 cups of water but when adding it to the bowl you mentioned adding only 2 cups of water, when did you add the other 1/2 cup or you meant to say the 2 1/2 cups? .....just want to do it right ....thx. A lot, I hope u can reply. Happy New Year 2021 🎉🎊🎉🎊🤗🤗🤗🤗
Great recipe, but you have made Italian bread which is enriched with sugar, oil and an egg wash. French is flour, salt, yeast and water, crust is set with steam.
@@piaprice8000 You can't really call it cultural appropriation unless you label everything that. Yeast bread was being made by the Egyptians over 5000 years ago.
The entire reason I'm looking to make my own bread, and food in general now, is to get rid of all this darn sugar! We don't need sugar in bread. Nice simple video though thanks.
I don’t do “abouta”. I weigh everything. French bread is nothing but a lean bread. It is made up of flour, salt, yeast, water and oil. I use the same recipe that I use for my Kaiser rolls and I weigh everything. The only difference between a French bread and a loaf of Country white bread bread is the ingredients. White bread uses milk instead of water, butter instead of oil and it has eggs in the mix. The eggs usually compensate for the fact that milk will give a drier dough than water. I add flour or liquid to the dough during the kneading stage in my standup mixer until the dough licks the mixing bowl clean. That, to me is the test to see if the dough is properly made. After the dough is kneaded I do the window pane test to see if Inhave kneaded it enough. If not, I knead it some more. I then cover the mixing bowl and let it go through the first rise. I then shape it and put it into a bread pan for its next rise. Then, it goes in the oven and then my belly.😢
Hi I going to try your recipe! How long can we keep this bread? Refrigerator or out? I am planning to make for Christmas ( this Sunday) to have with my French Onion Soup. Can I make one day ahead? Thank you!
That was most def not a teaspoon of salt lol, but I don’t blame you i made sandwich bread in a bread machine a while ago but it came out so bland needed way more than a teaspoon
I thought a tsp of salt sounded like far too little for that much flour.... you say 1 tsp in the video but it says 3/4 tbsp on the written recipe below the video. Great recipe with 2 tsp of salt, thanks!
I don't understand you question. I'd love to help. Are you wondering if you can make it in a dutch oven? The answer is yes but there will be enough dough to make to round dutch oven loaves.
I love your videos you explain everything so perfect and yes you definitely answered all my questions I love the way you do your videos thank you so much
a method for getting really crusty french bread is to throw a few ice cubes in the bottom of your oven. It will create some steam which will give you a thicker crust on your french bread.
Awesome video. No extra BS in the beginning or through. A pleasure to watch. Thank You very much!

Yummy!
Great recipe, but you have made Italian bread which is enriched with sugar, oil and an egg wash. French is flour, salt, yeast and water, crust is set with steam.
A lot of places call it french bread when you buy it, unfortunately. Another sign of americanized cultures changing ethnic foods!
@@piaprice8000 You can't really call it cultural appropriation unless you label everything that. Yeast bread was being made by the Egyptians over 5000 years ago.
yummy 😋 great recipe thanks for sharing 💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much 😊
I just baked mine and it is delicious. Thank u thank you

Love it yes did it thank you ❤
So glad!
Your kitchen is beautiful!
Thank you!

😊
Did I miss it, or was there any rise time before you rolled it out after removing from the mixing bowl ?
Oops !
I DID miss it !
I just went back and saw it !
Thanks for this easy recipe for yummy bread.
🙂
Fantastic video! 🙂 Big like from me 🥰
You are so nice, thank you!
Grams are so much more accurate!
😆 that teaspoon of salt looked like a mound in your little hand 💕 lol.
haha, I have small hands. 😜
Any advice on freezing the bread after it’s baked?
Would it be okay to use my bread machine on the dough setting, and then prep the loaves and place on the baking sheet?
Hey! Will it work if I halve the recipe?
I tried it and it turned out AMAZING...thank you soooooo much !!!
Yes, so glad you went for it!
What flour did you use
Looks a nice easy recipe, can't wait to try it. Just wondered if the cups measurements you use are US or UK. Thanks
US cups.
Looks great, can you use this recipe for no knead?
I haven't used this particular recipe for no knead but I don't see why not. Let me know how it goes!
I don’t do “abouta”. I weigh everything. French bread is nothing but a lean bread. It is made up of flour, salt, yeast, water and oil. I use the same recipe that I use for my Kaiser rolls and I weigh everything. The only difference between a French bread and a loaf of Country white bread bread is the ingredients.

I then shape it and put it into a bread pan for its next rise. Then, it goes in the oven and then my belly.😢
I have all purpose self-rising flour. Is that okay to use for this recipe?
I think so!
Hi I going to try your recipe! How long can we keep this bread? Refrigerator or out? I am planning to make for Christmas ( this Sunday) to have with my French Onion Soup. Can I make one day ahead?
Thank you!
Yes you can!
I made one loaf in the bread maker yesterday. I haven't tried it yet.
Best wishes!
Who else is hungry now? 😋
What kind of yeast you used? Instant or active dry?
I used active dry but either one will work great!
I'm looking for a recipe that had a slightly crispy crust , not real thick and hard .. how is the crust on this bread ?
It's great! Yes, just a little crispy but not thick!
I am going to tray this😺👧😊 tank you
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
👍👌
I love your channel
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Thats the softest fuckinf bread ive ever seen 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 not excusing my language
Does it come out the same or better with bread flour?
I haven't tried it wit "bread" flour. Regular, all-purpose flour will work great!
Is it possible to have the recipe in grams?
Hi. What if I have instant yeast. Do I mix with the water?
If it’s instant, you can add it to water or just dump it in.
why parallel the loaf in tray you could have gauched it diagonally =)
I am a little confused, is it 2 cups of water or 2 1/2 cups. You mentioned both. Thanks!
Here's a copy of the written recipe. thecarefreekitchen.com/classic-french-bread-recipe/ Enjoy!
way too much of yeast to get alcoholic yeasty flavor. I would prefer to reduce the yeast and increase the bulk rise time
Bonjour peux ton avoir la recette en français svp
That was most def not a teaspoon of salt lol, but I don’t blame you i made sandwich bread in a bread machine a while ago but it came out so bland needed way more than a teaspoon
Does this recipe work dry active yeast as I can get regular yeast
Yes, absolutely
I thought a tsp of salt sounded like far too little for that much flour.... you say 1 tsp in the video but it says 3/4 tbsp on the written recipe below the video.
Great recipe with 2 tsp of salt, thanks!
Good ZOO
I tried 2 tsp and it was way too salty for us, even when eat with condensed milk.
Can I make it in one loaf round
I don't understand you question. I'd love to help. Are you wondering if you can make it in a dutch oven? The answer is yes but there will be enough dough to make to round dutch oven loaves.
I love your videos you explain everything so perfect and yes you definitely answered all my questions I love the way you do your videos thank you so much
What is french about this "french" bread? We want crust.
0:49 0:50
My bread stopped growing once I rolled it and made the loafs don’t know what went wrong
is this all purpose flour?
Yes, all purpose bleached or unbleached flour is great.
Where do you put ice cubes?
a method for getting really crusty french bread is to throw a few ice cubes in the bottom of your oven. It will create some steam which will give you a thicker crust on your french bread.
