Easy Peesy French Bread Recipe
The easiest quickest way to have yummy fresh bread. If I can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Warm Water (think baby bath water)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Active Dry Yeast
- 4 - 4 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Combine the water, honey, salt and yeast in a glass bowl. Let sit for 5-10 mins. until there's some bubbling, foam stuff on the top.
- Next, add a bunch of flour. I used just regular white organic flour. Keep kneading until it is no longer sticky. You want your dough to be sticking to itself, not your fingers. So, keep adding flour and keep kneading until that happens.
- Form the dough into a loaf shape. Cover with a towel and let sit on the counter for 20 mins (or on top of the preheating oven if your kitchen is cold). This is the time to set the oven to 400 degrees.
- After 20 mins., cut slits in the top of the dough and bake for 20-25 mins.
- Variations can be made by adding garlic and oregano, or cinnamon and raisins, or whatever you dream up!
