Time 2h10m

Yield 1 1/2 pound loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups water (lukewarm)
2 1/2 cups white bread flour
1/2 cup wheat bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons fast rise yeast or 3 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • Combine according to your manufacturer's directions.
  • Success Hints: To develop the crisp crust that French Bread is known for, use your French cycle.
  • If your machine doesn't have a French cycle, simply start your machine and let it go through the first knead, then stop and restart it from the beginning again.
  • This gives the bread extra kneading time and results in a crisp crust.
  • Because of the distinctive chewy French crust, it is recommended that this bread is served within 24 hours to avoid toughness.
  • This recipe can be made using the regular, rapid and delayed time bake cycles.
