My daughter said the bread was "amazing"!High praise indeed. I made dough in bread machine and then shaped and let rise a bit on a cookie sheet, then baked at 350 for 30 min. I might try it in a loaf pan next time to give it a better sandwich bread shape. I don't really like the way crusts turn out in my bread machine, so I prefer to finish in oven.

This bread always comes out perfect. Use the French setting on your machine for a bigger fluffier loaf. You can use the regular setting if you are in a hurry and it comes out fine!

This is very good. I used my breadmaker for the dough cycle only and then made French loaves. I doubled the recipe bc of the comments that it made a small loaf; got two large French loaves that way. I did not drizzle with honey; just used the spray butter and baked at 350 for 35 min. Turned out perfect with a nice crust and good flavor. It is not that sweet, so if I wanted a sweeter bread probably would add the honey. But this way its perfect for sandwiches, too. Thanks for the recipe!

I did the dough cycle in my bread machine and then baked this in the oven. It was excellent! I drizzled honey on the top before baking and it made it nice and sweet. The two of us ate the whole loaf in a day and a half!

my husband LOVES this bread! I love that it's quick and easy to make, and very forgiving-even if you don't get the measurements exactly right, the bread still turns out great!

Amazing bread! It was very simple to make as well as great texture and flavor. I'll be making this again! I didn't really change anything in the recipe except I doubled the ingredients (as I wanted two loaves) and didn't use a bread maker (followed the suggestions from a previous post) - set oven to 375 and egg washed the bread before baking (great color). Perfect!

Holy god. This is terrific. We substituted 1/4 of the bread flour with whole wheat flour, and it still turned out so soft. We topped it with basil pesto, and we're blown away with the flavor.

I made dinner rolls with this recipe! Very light and tasty. I also added some ground flax seed for the nutritional value.

This is the second French bread recipe I have tried, and so far this has turned out the best. I probably added a little more honey and a little more salt than called for but it turned out well. Also, I adjusted the recipe up as another viewer suggested to make a more normal size loaf when baking without a bread machine. The bread was not too dense, the crust was lightly crispy, and the flavor was really nice. The smell of this bread is wonderful. A great beginner bread to make. Oh, and I made two small rounds rather than one long loaf. My husband and kids loved it with the fresh butter I made to go with it. Yum!

I substituted 1/2c of the white flour for whole wheat flour and then used this bread for the recipe "Make Ahead French Bread" Extremely tasty!

This was a nice, basic bread recipe (chewy inside, crisp outside), perfect with homemade vegetable soup on a snowy day. I didn't change a thing, and the 59-minute, quick-rise cycle on my bread machine formed a great little loaf. I'll use this recipe again!
