Unknownchef86's French Countryside Bread (Abm) image

This makes a first-rate country French bread in your ABM. My family loves it so much I can't make it fast enough! Makes a 2 lb. loaf. This is also an excellent dough to make by hand. Simply let it raise a couple of times, punch it down in between and bake it off in a 400 degree oven for approximately 30-40 minutes (I don't remember exactly how long). Bread should sound hollow (when tapped) when done.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier bread.

This bread is perfect for sandwiches. It's sturdy enough to hold up to all the fillings, but it's also soft and fluffy. I love it!

I followed the recipe exactly and my bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread is absolutely delicious! The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy. I love the flavor of the herbs and cheese. It's the perfect bread for a sandwich or just to eat on its own.
