Steps:
- Dissolve yeast, warm water, and sugar in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine hot water, granulated sugar, salt, and oil. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour to the mixture in the large bowl/mixer and mix well. Stir in yeast mixture.
- Add 1 - 1 1/2 cups more flour and mix until well blended. (At this point your dough will still be quite sticky). Leave in bowl and let rise for 1 hour, mixing a few strokes a couple of times during the hour.
- Divide dough into 2 (or 3 if you want smaller loaves) pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into the length desired then roll up length wise like a jelly roll.
- Put on a greased cookie sheet, sealed side down, and tuck the ends under. Slash the top diagonally across the top every couple of inches with a sharp knife. Brush with egg white. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Let loaves rise 30 more minutes.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the poolish, mix the flour and yeast in a medium, deep bowl. Add 200ml room temperature water and stir to a very thick batter. Cover with cling film then chill overnight, after which time the batter will have doubled in size.
- The next day, combine the flours, remaining yeast and the salt in a large mixing bowl. Add another 250ml water to the poolish, then pour into the flours and mix to make a very wet, sloppy dough. Let this sit for 20 mins, which helps the dough to come together more quickly as you knead.
- After 20 mins, the dough will still be wet - possibly much wetter than you're used to, but this is important for a delicious loaf. Either knead by hand for 10 mins (see tip on kneading a very wet dough, below), or in a mixer with a dough hook for 5-8 mins, until the dough firms up and becomes smooth and elastic. It will still feel sticky but have shape and spring.
- Dust a clean patch of worktop and the dough with a little more flour, then fold the dough inwards on itself to make a ball. It will be dry to touch on the outside, but pleasingly wobbly and alive within. Transfer to a lightly floured large bowl, cover with a clean teatowel and let rise for 1½ hours in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size.
- Dust a heavy teatowel or baker's cloth with plenty of flour, and put it onto onto a large kitchen tray or board. Shape three long, baguette-width ridges in the cloth. Turn the dough onto a floured worktop, then flour the sticky side lightly. Cut into 3 equal pieces using a large knife. Do not knead the dough or 'knock it back'.
- Working one at a time, press each piece of dough into a rough oval about 25cm long and 20cm deep. Fold one of the long sides to the middle and press it down well with your fingers. Fold in the other long edge in the same way, and press well again to make a long strip of dough with a groove down the centre. Now fold the dough over itself lengthways into a sausage, pressing the two sides together well in a tight seam against the worktop. Roll very lightly under your palms to seal and make the ends a little pointy. The loaf will be about 40cm long.
- Place the dough seam-side down in your prepared cloth, then repeat. Dust all the loaves with a little flour, cover with a clean teatowel and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or until almost doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Put a roasting tin on a shelf towards the bottom of the oven, plus set a shelf in the top third. Scatter semolina or more flour over one or two large baking trays. Carefully roll or lift the breads onto the trays, leaving space for them to grow. If they stretch or go wonky don't worry, just pat them back carefully into place.
- With a very sharp craft knife or blade, slash the loaves diagonally 5 or 6 times, cutting 1-2cm in. Bake one tray at a time, adding 100ml water to the hot roasting tin and closing the oven door as quickly as you can. Bake for 20 mins or until dark golden, risen and crisp. Cool on racks and enjoy same day, or warmed in a hot oven for a few mins next morning.

FRENCH BREAD
The beauty of this bread is in its simplicity-mixing, kneading, even part of the rising are all done in a food processor. The end result is like a warm, crusty slice of Paris.

Steps:
- Pulse flour, salt, and vinegar in a food processor to combine.
- Stir together yeast and 1/3 cup water in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved, then let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.) With motor running, pour yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/3 cups warm water into flour mixture in processor, blending until dough forms a ball and pulls away from side of processor bowl, about 1 minute.
- Cover processor feed tube and let dough rise until it fills bowl, about 1 hour. Pulse several times to deflate dough.
- Generously oil bread pans with olive oil.
- Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide in half (dough will be very soft). Press 1 half into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle and fold in the 2 short outer sides to meet in the middle, pinching edges together. Turn over (seam side down), then roll and stretch into a 15-inch-long irregular loaf. Put loaf, seam side up, in bread pan and turn to coat with oil, leaving loaf seam side down.
- Repeat procedure with remaining dough. Let loaves rise, uncovered, in a warm draft-free place 30 minutes.
- Put oven rack in upper third of oven, then put a large roasting pan with 1 inch of water in it on bottom of gas oven or on lowest rack of electric oven. Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Make 3 shallow diagonal slashes down length of each loaf with razor. Bake loaves 30 minutes, then carefully remove pan of water from oven. Remove bread from pans and turn upside down on upper oven rack, then bake until golden and crusty all over, about 5 minutes more. Cool loaves on a rack.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved.
- Mix in the bread flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough is formed.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it for about 8 minutes.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl and flip the dough over so that all of the dough is lightly greased, including the dough top . Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until double in size.
- Punch down the dough .
- Give the dough a quick 2-minute knead.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal halves. Shape each half into a long loaf.
- Place the loaves on a lightly greased baking sheet. Make about 5 diagonal slits, 3/4 inch deep, into the top of each loaf.
- Cover loaves with a clean towel or greased plastic wrap and let them rise for 45 minutes or until double in size. Heat the oven to 400 F.
- If you'd like, brush the loaves with the beaten egg white for a shiny crust, and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 400 F for 5 minutes.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and use a mister or spray bottle to lightly spray the tops of the loaves with cold water. Turn the oven down to 350 F and bake the loaves for another 25 minutes or until done.
- Remove the loaves from the baking sheet and let them cool on a rack.

CLASSIC FRENCH BREAD
Steps:
- Do ahead
- Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. If using a mixer, use the paddle attachment and mix on the lowest speed for 1 minute. If mixing by hand, use a large spoon and stir for 1 minute, until well blended and smooth. If the spoon gets too doughy, dip it in a bowl of warm water. The dough should form a coarse shaggy ball. Let it rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- Switch to the dough hook and mix on medium-low speed for 2 minutes or knead by hand for about 2 minutes, adjusting with flour or water as needed. The dough should be smooth, supple, and tacky but not sticky.
- Whichever mixing method you use, knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured work surface for about 1 minute more, then transfer it to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then immediately refrigerate overnight or for up to 4 days. If the dough feels too wet and sticky, do not add more flour; instead, stretch and fold it one or more times at 10-minute intervals, as shown on page 18, before putting it in the refrigerator. (If you plan to bake the dough in batches over different days, you can portion the dough and place it into two or more oiled bowls at this stage.)
- On baking day
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 2 hours before you plan to bake. Gently transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, taking care to degas it as little as possible. For baguettes and bâtards, divide the cold dough into 10-ounce (283 g) pieces; for 1 pound boules, divide the dough into 19-ounce (53 g) pieces; and for freestanding loaves, use whatever size you prefer.
- Form the dough into bâtards and/or baguettes (see pages 21 and 22) or boules (see page 20). Mist the top of the dough with spray oil, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and proof at room temperature for about 1 1/2 hours, until increased to 1 1/2 times its original size.
- About 45 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 550°F (288°C) or as high as it will go, and prepare the oven for hearth baking (see page 30).
- Remove the plastic wrap from the dough 15 minutes prior to baking; if using proofing molds, transfer the dough onto a floured peel.
- Just prior to baking, score the dough 1/2 inch deep with a serrated knife or razor. Transfer the dough to the oven, pour 1 cup of hot water into the steam pan, then lower the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C).
- Bake for 12 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, until the crust is a rich golden brown, the loaves sound hollow when thumped, and the internal temperature is about 200°F (93°C) in the center. For a crisper crust, turn off the oven and leave the bread in for another 5 minutes before removing.
- Cool the bread on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before slicing or serving.
- Variation
- By simply varying the method so that the shaped loaves undergo cold fermentation, rather than the freshly mixed bulk dough, you can create a spectacular loaf with a distinctive blistered crust. After the dough is mixed and placed in a clean, oiled bowl, let it rise at room temperature for about 90 minutes, until doubled in size. Divide and shape as described above, mist with spray oil, then cover the shaped dough loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, away from anything that might fall on it or restrict it from growing.
- The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking. It should have grown to at least 1 1/2 times its original size. Prepare the oven for hearth baking, as described on page 30. While the oven is heating, remove the plastic wrap and let the dough sit uncovered for 10 minutes. Score the dough while it's still cold, then bake as described above.
FRENCH BREAD
I orginally got this from Taste of Home and changed a couple of things to suit our tastes. I have been using this recipe for many years now. We make this bread anytime we have spaghetti or other pasta dish or soups. I use my bosch mixer for all my bread making - but will post directions for those making this by hand. This bread also makes excellent buns for sandwiches. They freeze well and it's just the right size for lunch boxes!

HOME-STYLE FRENCH BREAD
Steps:
- Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar and warm water and mix for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast. Add the salt and flour. With the mixer on low, mix until the dough starts to come together. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and crawls up to dough hook.
- Grease a mixing bowl with the oil. Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place until the dough doubles in size about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and invert it onto a heavily floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Pat each portion into a large rectangle, about 3/4-inch thick. Roll up the dough, beginning with the short side and stopping after each full turn to press the edge of the roll firmly into the flat sheet of dough to seal. Press with your fingertips. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough.
- Sprinkle a baking sheet evenly with 2 tablespoons of the cornmeal. Place the loaves on the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a cloth and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife, make diagonal slashes, about 1-inch apart, on the top of each loaf. With a pastry brush, brush the egg wash evenly over each loaf. Place a cup of hot water in an oven-proof container on the baking sheet with the loaves.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Slice to serve.

- Proof the yeast. Mix 1/4 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of warm water to make a slurry, then add the yeast and wait for it to proof. It will begin foaming when it's ready.
- Place the remaining flour and the salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk it to combine, or use a dough hook attachment on your mixer to stir it up. Advertisement.
- Mix the dough and add water. Turn on the dough hook attachment at its lowest speed, or use a wooden spoon to mix the dough. Add water a few tablespoons at a time, mixing constantly, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Stop mixing and let the dough rest. Allow it to absorb the water for a few minutes. This will make it easier to get the final flour/water ratio correct.
- Continue mixing. Add additional water or flour slowly until the bowl is “clean,” without lots of bits of dough clinging to the sides. When you pinch the dough it should be just slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough. Turn on the dough hook attachment to a medium speed. If you are not using a machine, you will need to knead about 10 to 15 minutes by hand to distribute the ingredients and develop the gluten in the flour.
- Let the dough rise. Put the dough into a bowl 3 times larger than the amount of flour used. Oil the bowl with cooking oil, the place the dough in the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.
- Punch down the dough. After the dough has roughly tripled in volume, you should “punch down” the dough by poking it with your fingers to deflate it.
- Let the dough rise again. Place it back in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set it in a warm area to rise a second time. When it has doubled in size, punch it down again.

From commeunefrancaise.com
Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Saucer. La sauce is a dish’s sauce. Saucer is a French verb that means essuyer la sauce qui reste dans son assiette (= “to mop up the sauce from your plate”)
- Tremper. Tremper (= to dip, to plunge) as in Tremper son croissant dans son café (= to dunk your croissant in your coffee), lives in the grey area of French manners and French culture.
- Mettre le pain à l’envers. Mettre le pain à l’envers (= putting / leaving some bread upside down) is a big no-no in French culture! Ça porte malheur (= it brings bad luck.)
- Mettre une assiette pour le pain. Mettre une assiette à pain (= to add a small plate especially for bread) isn’t really a “mistake” – but it’s something French people just don’t do.
- Croquer le bout de la baguette. Croquer le bout de la baguette (= directly eating the tip of the baguette) is something you should never do ! This is especially true if you’re already seated at a table.
13 TYPES OF FRENCH BREAD - 2022 - MASTERCLASS
From masterclass.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 minsPublished 2020-12-01
- Baguette: The French baguette is among the most popular types of bread in French cuisine, known for its crackly, crispy crust and pillowy chew. The 26-inch long thin loaf first came into vogue in the late 1800s, and was officially defined by price, weight, and length by 1920.
- Boule de pain: This traditional round loaf with a signature ball shape is made from four simple ingredients: water, bread flour, a leavening agent (baker’s yeast), and salt.
- Brioche: Rich brioche is a boulangerie staple—one of the few products you’ll find in both French bakeries and patisseries. Made with 100 percent white flour, eggs, butter, and a little sugar, this sweet bread isn’t complicated to make, but it does require periods of long, gentle kneading due to its high-fat content.
- Croissant: This traditional breakfast staple pulls double duty as a pastry and bread. Known for its crescent shape and buttery hue, the croissant is a flexible bread option that you can pair with savory meats and cheeses or sweets like jam and chocolate.
- Fougasse: Fougasse, a flatbread-style bread recognizable by its distinctive slashes meant to evoke an ear of wheat, is most associated with Provence, France.
- Pain aux noix: This whole-grain nut loaf is made with brown sugar, walnuts, warm milk, and wheat flour, which combine to create an array of complex flavors and textures.
- Pain brié: Pain brié is a traditional French bread from Normandy with distinctive, conche-esque stripes and a warm, buttery hue. Thanks to a long kneading process, pain brié is a fairly dense loaf with a tight crumb.
- Pain complet: Pain complet is a whole wheat bread loaf with a tight, moist crumb. This chewy brown bread usually features white flour in its blends; pain intégral, a similar style of bread, is made with 100 percent whole wheat flour.
- Pain couronne: Pain couronne, French for bread crown, gets its name from its unique crown shape. The soft bread is comprised of small rolls of sourdough that are easy to tear off and enjoy with soups, cheeses, or sweet spreads.
- Pain d’épices: This quick bread is made from rye flour, honey, and warm spices like cinnamon. French for spice bread, pain d’épices is a cross between a cake and a bread, commonly served as an accompaniment to foie gras, fresh cheeses, and confits.
