I even screwed this recipe up by adding more salt than called for. It was too late to really fix it so I thought I'd go ahead and finish it and it still tasted fantastic! Love my bread making machine & this recipe.

Delicious! I had to do by hand but it was so easy. I brushed with one egg white, a splash of water and dried rosemary. Yum!! I made meatball subs out of one loaf. How wonderful!

This was the first time I made any kind of bread at all...it came out perfect!! I have made them SEVERAL times in the last year. My kids, husband and rest of the family love them and will no longer buy them at the store. They ask me to make them and they don't last long!! Easy, easy EASY!!! Love it thanks for the recipe :-)

WOW, this was my first attempt on making any sort of bread and it couldn’t have turned out any better. On one of the loafs (after the egg wash) I sprinkled random dried herbs on it and that turned out great as well. This is a definite keeper!

I absolutely LOVED the bread. I am really frustrated about American "bread" (I am from Germany) so I am constantly looking for good "real bread" recipes. This one is definitely a keeper. Better (and much cheaper!!) than the ones from the grocery store bakery. Will make again soon!

I LOVE this recipe! I added some crushed rosemary to mine. I also added melted butter to the egg wash instead of water. To those that are hand kneading the bread just use a little olive oil on your hands instead of adding more flour. And please for the love of bread use BREAD FLOUR lol! A++ recipe !

Great recipes, I did this without the bread machine and I substituted AP flour for the bread flour. It was fantastic, I made 2 boules for my potato and leek soup, and it soaked up a little of the soup to give a great flavor to the bread. I will definately use this recipe again!

This was really yummy! I used a number of other reviews which told how to make these WITHOUT using a bread machine. I used my KA and also subbed 1/2 whole wheat flour. This made 3 6" loaves for me. I will make these again, next time I'll use all AP flour to see which we prefer. TY for a great recipe!

the result was much better when I rolled the 8 inch side not the 12 inch side . I made some croutons from it and it was good . the second time I`ll mix it with garlic powder and herbs to make the perfect croutons

i liked this but the bread had very little flavor i should add a little more salt and sugar next time. and then when they came out the oven they smelled eggy and the crust had the disgusting taste too. next time i will use the whole egg rather than just the yolk. i will make again but with a few changes

This would have been AWESOME if I had remembered to put the salt in. :) I did as a few others suggested and used the whole egg instead of just the yolk to brush over loaves before baking. I also followed the suggestion of pouring a cup of water in the bottom of the oven about 10 minutes into baking and the crust turned out GREAT! Great recipe & next time I'll remember the salt. :)

Wonderful and easy to make. I also used the same recipie for a loaf of bread in my bread machine (I wanted the bread but didn't have time to make the baguettes) and it worked very well.

This is by far the best bread recipe I have ever used! And it's the only one I'm using now. My family loves it! I make it at least twice a week.

This recipe is so easy to follow! I have never made bread before, and (without a bread machine - I followed another reader's instructions) it came out great! Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

Just ok. I have been to Paris often and a bood Baguette is my favorite... for me, this recipe did not produce a good Baguette. A good italian style bread yes, but not a Baguette. The family actually loved it, but it was not a baguette.

I divided my dough into 4 rather than 2 more for ease of serving. Instead of brushing with egg, I misted my dough with olive oil, and it browned very well. I only have cookie sheets to bake these on, but next time I'll lightly grease the baking sheet as the bread stuck to the sheet. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I might add some rosemary to the dough next time.
