FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE BREAD (BREAD MACHINE - ABM)



French Countryside Bread (Bread Machine - Abm) image

Our family LOVES French bread. If we have any leftovers, I make croûtons out of it or use it with French onion soup. This recipe came from my Oster bread machine cookbook. You can also use only the "dough" option on your bread machine and bake baguettes in the oven.

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h10m

Yield 1-2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3/8 cups water, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to your bread machine as your directions instruct.
  • Mine go like this:.
  • Add liquid ingredients to bread pan.
  • Add all dry ingredients, except yeast, to bread pan.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients and carefully add the yeast into the well.
  • Select the "French" setting on your machine.
  • Select crust color, if applicable.
  • Press start!
  • OVEN METHOD:.
  • To make loaves in the oven, use the "Dough" cycle on your machine.
  • When cycle is complete, punch dough down and divide into 2 equal parts.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rectangle, about 10 x 15.
  • Starting at the long side, roll each rectangle, jelly roll style, into a tight, long loaf. Seal seams and ends by pinching dough together.
  • Place loaves seam sides down on a large, ungreased baking sheet. You may sprinkle some cornmeal or flour on the pan under where you'll be placing the loaves.
  • Cover loaves with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until almost double in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375*. Place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of your oven. This will create steam inside the oven while the bread is baking to give you an authentic crust.
  • Using a very sharp knife, carefully make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes in each loaf, cutting about 1/2 inch down into dough.
  • If you choose, at this time you can carefully brush on an egg white glaze (one egg white beaten with 1 tbl. of water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion or garlic, etc., if desired.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes (or until loaves sound hollow when tapped) on middle oven rack.
  • Cool on wire racks and serve warm.

BREAD MACHINE SESAME FRENCH BREAD



Bread Machine Sesame French Bread image

I make this bread often, especially when I want a bread that has a bit more body than a white bread, but not as rustic as a traditional French bread. I think the sesame seeds give it a really nice flavor. It makes about a 1 1/4 lb. loaf. Unfortunately, I can't remember where on the web I found this.

Provided by Charmed

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h38m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 ounces warm water (14 tbs.)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, softened
2 3/4-3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yeast
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (toast lightly before adding if desired for a slightly more intense flavor, but it's good either way)

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients into the bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Bake using french bread cycle if your machine has it.
  • If not, use the dark crust white cycle.
  • Start with 2 3/4 cups flour, you might need more depending on a lot of factors.
  • My favorite way to get the texture I like is about 10 minutes into the knead cycle I will pinch a good size chunk of dough between my thumb and two or three fingers.
  • If it feels just moist and some dough sticks to my fingers, it's just right.
  • If no dough sticks, it's a bit dry and add a few teaspoons of water.
  • If it feels too soft and very sticky, add more flour until you get the right consistency after about another 5 minutes of kneading.

Provided by Bev I Am

Categories     Yeast Breads

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.
