Basic Machine French Bread
(184)
Recipe by rickv

This is my winner with Tammiev and our friends. This recipe is for a 2 pound loaf and has never failed me. I think it is the lack of oil and sugar that they like in this one.

DIRECTIONS

  • Add to the bread pan in the order yours needs.
  • For mine it is water first.
  • Then I add half the flour and the salt followed by the rest of the flour and the yeast on top.
  • This will run well on the normal, rapid, and delay start cycles.
