Easy Homemade French Bread

Breads & Desserts

Easy Homemade French BreadFrench Bread is one of the easiest breads to make – if you think back to Home Economics in high school you may have made this. 

I took Home Economics for one year, then decided I wanted to be in Wood Shop instead….. fast forward 18 years later, I prefer being in the kitchen and am not really so sure why I ever thought Wood Shop was a better class. 

I love making bread – and even if we can’t eat both loaves, it provides a great opportunity to wrap one up and gift to family – or, my neighbors (who is also a great cook, too!)

Once you make your own french bread, I can guarantee you won’t go back to buying bread in store – this is just too easy!

Ingredients
  1. 2 1/2 C. Warm Water (105 - 115 degrees F)
  2. 3 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  3. 1/4 C. Sugar
  4. 1 Tbsp Salt
  5. 1 Tbsp Oil
  6. 6 C. Organic, All Purpose Unbleached Flour
  7. 1 Tbsp Butter, melted
Instructions
  1. In your KitchenAid, mix the water with the yeast, and let proof for 10 minutes (it should get frothy on top).
  2. Mix in the sugar, salt, oil and flour with the dough hook just until mixed.
  3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 5-7 minutes or until a soft ball of dough forms.
  4. Grease or oil a bowl and place the ball of dough in the bowl, and set in a warm place to double - 60 to 90 minutes. If you wish, you can pre-heat your oven to 200, turn off, and let it sit in there.
  5. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  6. Cut in half (to make 2 pieces) and form into 2 loaves - it's easiest to do this on a baking mat or a cookie sheet so you don't have to move them later.
  7. Take a sharp knife and make deep cuts (about 1/3 way into the dough) every 2-3 inches ... then let the dough rise again for 25-30 minutes.
  8. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350.
  9. Once the bread has risen the second time, pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown - the bread should sound hollow when you tap it.
  10. Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter.
  11. Use serrated knife to cut into pieces and serve warm.
