Wonderful! - Coming from a French husband... -Added 1 package of yeast to the 2 cups of warm water with a teaspoon of sugar. -Let rise 1st time: 20min., 2nd time: 20 mins., 3rd time: 40 mins. I could mess just about any recipe up, but this one I can't seem to flop!! :)

I adore this recipe. After making 2 loafs and giving 1 to my sister, I am now making it for her family too ! I used 5 cups of flour instead of 6 but WOW!!. PERFECT. I wanted soft crust so when it is hot from the oven I slather it in butter and pop it right into a bag and into the fridge to cool. AMAZING STUFF!

This was good. I only did half the recipe, but used the same amount of salt, and it tasted great. Make sure you cut the slits deep enough and let the dough rise a second time. I was running late, so I only let it raise once. My mistake. The dough rose too fast while it was cooking and pulled apart. Still tasted good, but the look could improve.

This made the best French Bread! It was soft inside and crusty outside; not "dry" like some recipes I've tried in the past. My family wiped it out in no time flat! I will be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing.

My first time making bread on my own and this recipe was wonderful! I did up the salt to 2tsp as per a reviewer's recommendation, but I kept the amount of yeast the same (two and a half .25oz packets) and I rose my bread by placing in a large, ceramic, greased bowl, draping with plastic wrap and placing a steaming hot towel over the top. Both rises for me were about 40 mins. Bread was amazing, both loafs gone within 24 hours!!

Great recipe. But don't think you can just up and walk away. This bread needs alot of TLC. I had an extra loaf and gave 1 to our friends. I asked them how the bread was. Apparently, it never made it to the dinner table. Gobbled up at the kitchen counter while it was still hot. :)
