5. Are you using a pan?

Or do you freeform it on a cookie sheet or baking stone?

[Mizmoon]

13. I use a capitalistic bread machine to make the dough

So for the most part the labor of the prolitariat is thrown aside with disdain. Doesn't sound very French to me.

[MallRat]

8. have you made it before?

And if so, may i have the recipe?

[Mizmoon]

15. bread machine - easy as can be

1 1/4 cups 80 degree water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons yeast

when the bread machine is done mixing it, take it out, form into a loaf, let rise for 40 minutes, then paint with salt/water glaze and bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Not bad for a "from memory" recitation.

[Shoeempress]

9. Seriously, what kind of yeast and flour are you using?

[Mizmoon]

fleischmann's yeast for the bread machine

on edit: for flour I just use whatever bread flour is on sale. Sometimes white, sometimes wheat. Don't use all-purpose flour tho. Won't work rightt.

20. I made French Bread last night!

No, really! Tip: if using a bread baker for the dough, be sure to turn it off after the first knead and turn it back on for a second dough cycle. The extra knead gives it that characteristic crust!

[Mizmoon]

23. I'll give that a try. Thanks! n/t

[YDogg]
