French Bread Recipe To Make At Home, Truly Delicious!

If you want a French bread recipe to make at home, here are a few that are truly delicious.

It's not everyone's cup of tea I know, to spend hours in the kitchen making bread, although sometimes it is well worth it if you have the time and patience...not least because of the lovely aroma that fills the house.

Although you could cheat, and use your bread maker!

The French baguette is a good example – it is an icon of France.

But because the French are passionate about their bread they would be quick to say that no bread is as good as the bread in France.

So to all Francophiles, I apologize and would simply say that the French bread recipe given here is far superior to any that is commercially made in any other country...other than France! 

The main difference in a French bread recipe is the flour they use.

The flour is from a particular type of wheat, unbleached, light flour, very fine and free flowing.

If you cannot get French plain bread flour, then use a good quality strong bread flour instead.

I just use a good quality bread flour and have no problems. However, there are some other factors to take into consideration.

You will get better results in the summer than in the winter due to the temperature in the kitchen! The temperature affects the dough rising, so you need to have a warm room for the best results.

Baguettes

So delicious and the most well known of French breads. You can now make it at home and give your family and friends a real treat.

Bread Maker Review

A bread maker is not "absolutely" necessary to make delicious French bread, but, it is the easiest, less messiest and quickest way to make mouth watering, homemade French bread.
