Homemade FRENCH BREAD Recipe
There is little in the world I like more than a warm slice of French Bread. This video is going to teach you how to make my French Bread recipe at home so you can enjoy it every time a craving hits. It’s the BEST one I’ve tried!!
PRINTABLE RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
4 1/2 – 5 cups all-purpose flour divided
2 packets Fleischman’s Yeast Rapid Rise Yeast or any instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg white
INSTRUCTIONS
Add 1 cup of flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add yeast and salt and whisk to combine.
Place water in a heat-proof measuring cup. Heat for about one minute (maybe longer, it depends on your microwave) until water is between 120°-130°F. It’s best to check this with an instant-read thermometer, but if you don’t have one, think hot bath water. Add oil to water, then pour into dry ingredients.
Run mixer with dough hook, scraping the sides of the bowl, just until the flour is all moistened. Add 2 more cups of flour, mix, then add an another 1 1/2 cups of flour and let the mixer run until the dough is thick and starts to come together, adding an additional 1/2 cup flour as needed. It won’t form a ball but will only be slightly sticky to the touch.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough forms a ball and is elastic and springs back when pressed with two fingers; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into an approximate 12×15-inch rectangle (no need to be exact) and roll it up from the long side. Pinch the ends to form the pointy ends of the loaf.
Place loaves on a cookie sheet covered with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Uncover loaves and use a sharp knife to score 4-5 times on top to create the French bread look. Brush the dough lightly with egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the loaves are golden and hard and sound hollow if knocked on. To make a browner and crunchier crust, as shown in the photos, do a second brushing with egg white after 15 minutes of baking.
Cool slightly before serving, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

How to Make Easy French Bread At Home
Bakery Style Easy French Bread is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside and is easy to make and tastes amazing. It is the perfect addition to any meal.
We had some technical difficulties with the video footage. To clarify the steps:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Place pan of boiling water onto lower shelf of oven.
3 Place bread into oven and then turn the oven off.
4. Allow bread to bake/rise for 20 -30 minutes.
5. Remove pan of water and turn oven to 425 degrees F. leaving bread in the oven.
6. The bread will cook for about another 10 minutes, until golden brown. Usually by the time the oven has preheated to 425 degrees your bread is done. If the bread is not done at the end of the ten minutes, reduce oven to 350 and bake for an additional 5 minutes longer or until bread is golden brown.
Please note that the baking directions in the blog post differ slightly as I have found that both methods work with little difference in the results.
