  1. I was looking forward to make this bread as a Saturday project! I must have done something really wrong. I followed the directions and ended up with something like pancake batter in my processor. It never formed the dough. I'll skip to a traditional recipe using the old kneading method. I'm sure this recipe will work for others, it just didn't work for me.
     
  2. Make the bread with 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour and it works out.
     
  3. I had the same experience as did Pink Ribbon 09. I had to add about 1/2 cup more flour... it did turn out nice, but this recipe should be either revised or removed.
     
  4. I just bought a new cuisinart and I wanted to try the dough hook...(I usually make my dough in the bread machine) I followed the direction exactly. I was a bit worried about my yeast: I use Rapid Rise ( in the jar) and it didnt proof very well. But The bread came out wonderful. I baked mine in a long bread pan ( didn't have a baguett pan). I will definately be making this again. The food processor method is much easier than I expected. One note- you didnt say to use warm water when proofing the yeast but warm ( about 100) is essential! Thanks Abby Girl!!
