Breadmaker French Bread
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!
French Bread
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
Glaze
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds toasted, optional
Instructions
- 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 tablespoons water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 10×8-inch rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side; pinch to seal seams.

- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk egg and water; brush over loaves. With a sharp knife, make 4 shallow slashes across the loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake at in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

I love eating homemade bread – which mean I have to make it 🙂 Have a great weekend, Michelle!
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!
I never bake bread in my breadmaker either …. Maybe it's just me or my imagination, but I don't like the heavier texture – I always bake it in the oven! Stop by and let me know what you thought when you do make it 🙂
Okay, first icing and now bread. I think I love you, lol. Thanks for sharing at our party this week.
Hahaha 🙂 Have a great weekend!
