I love making homemade bread. This Breadmaker French Bread is one of the recipes I use a lot. It's super simple since the bread machine does most of the work for me. If your family enjoys homemade bread, definitely give this recipe a try!

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups water
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3-1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp. cornmeal

Glaze

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp. water
  • 2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted, optional

Instructions

  1. In bread machine pan, place the first five ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tbsp. water or flour if needed).
  2. When cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 10x8-in. rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side; pinch to seal seams.
  3. Sprinkle a greased baking sheet with cornmeal. Place loaves seam-side down on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  5. Whisk egg and water; brush over loaves. With a sharp knife, make 4 shallow slashes across the loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  6. Bake at in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

    I haven't made homemade bread in like forever. I also like to use my breadmaker in mixing and kneading it but I like baking it in the oven. I am looking forward to trying yours. Thank you for sharing at Freedom Fridays!
