We love French Bread with many dishes from
Beef Stew to
Lasagna Style Pasta Bake so we always keep a loaf or two in the freezer. Here is our
Bread Machine French Bread Recipe. We let the machine knead it, but we shape it and bake in a conventional oven. This is a heavier, moisture texture than store bakery bread and it is important to be sure to cook it long enough -- better to err on the side of too long. It is delicious for
Party Sub Sandwiches, too.

| Mini loaves shaped & ready to rise. |
Bake on greased or non-stick cookie sheets or use parchment paper.
Check after a couple minutes of kneading and add flour or water as needed for proper texture - should be quite stiff and not stick to your finger when poked. Add small amounts at a time—1 or 2 teaspoons.
You can read the
review of the West Bend Hi-Rise Bread Machine we wrote earlier and check out all our
Bread Machine Recipes. We let the machine do the kneading for us in many conventional recipes.
