Directions
Really Easy, Really Good French Bread, A dear friend gave me this recipe, swearing that it is too easy to mess up- and she was right! It was delicous, better than anything fresh from the bakery!, This recipe is amazing. I have made it multiple times, adding poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or garlic/Parmesan toppings and/or herbs, depending on the evenings menu. The recipe easily makes two or three loaves as stated and I generally make 3 as this bread freezes remarkedly well. Definitely a go to recipe for beginners or experienced bakers and easily tweakable. Fun to experiment with this recipe., Just didn’t work for me.
