I just wanted to say I have been using this recipe for at least 6 years. Tried it, liked it and stuck with it. I only make bread once in a great while. Made some again today. SO GOOD. Thanks for posting!

This bread was so good! Great texture and the size of the loaves was perfect. even though it made 3 loaves, they didn’t last too long.

I have to admit thAt i was a little hesitant with this recipe using active dry yeast instead of instant, but i went for it anyway. I also only had the packets, which don’t equal 1 tablespoon each. I am happy to report that One packet worked out perfectly!
Thank you for sharing!

In reply to Terri Knight. Terri, I am not familiar with bread machines at all. I have honestly never used one so I can't answer your question. I am so sorry!

Can this recipe be adapted for a bread machine that calls for all liquids first, and then dry ingredients with a small well to hold the yeast???? (Dough cycle)

In reply to Kim Simpson. I'm so sorry, Kim. I am looking into fixing a lot of these ads right now. So happy you love this bread :)

Love the end result but with the recipe constantly jumping around to accommodate advertising I had to keep trying to find my place and reread over and over. Very frustrating. Will write it out for future use as it’s now my new favorite French bread

In reply to Karis. Im so sorry about that. You turn it up to 400 degrees F. after that. I updated the recipe card so hopefully it's showing for you now. :)

Hello, my recipe that shows up is slightly cut off on the right side. I was wondering what the oven temperature is supposed to go to after 170

The first time I made it I used regular yeast and it didn’t work, it stayed folded up and hard and didn’t raise well. Ever since then I’ve used instant yeast and shaped my dough into the loaves with my hands instead of doing the folding thing and it turns out amazing and yummy. I cooked it on my smoker yesterday for a contest. We’ll see how I do.

Is your yeast old? My mom’s made homemade bread for as long as I can remember, and whenever the loaves don’t rise like they should, it’s the signal to replace the yeast.

I made this recipe today. Substituted avocado oil. I found the dough to be sticky and it tended to spread out although it did rise. That being said, it tastes awesome, crispy chewy crust and soft texture on the inside, we love it and will definitely be using this recipe often
