Homemade French bread isn't at all difficult to make, and it's perfect alongside Italian foods. If you're not serving a large group, freeze one loaf to enjoy later. -Peggy Van Arsdale, Trenton, New Jersey

I'm not a huge fan of sesame seeds, but I really enjoyed this bread. The sesame seeds added a nice flavor, but they weren't overpowering.
