French Bread, and KITTENS!

[equusmaximus]

      The French Bread that I was making today came out beautifully!  It actually rose a little too much, but otherwise it was perfect; the texture and flavour are exactly what I expected, and it's taking a lot of will-power to not scarf down the entire loaf!  ;)  What surprises me is that French Bread is actually a more simple recipe than typical

Yeah, my father used to make fresh french bread at *least* once a week or so. It's good stuff, and dirt cheap to make yourself. If you've one o' them newfangled breadmakers, it's even easier..

And yay for kittens!

KNEEL BEFORE FRENCH BREAD! :D
Now you know why it's so good. Less sugar and no fat!
That's also why it doesn't keep: no fat.

And yea! Kittens!

I have seen several recipes for "French Bread" that add a little vegetable oil to help it keep, but IMO that's cheating, and it's no longer true French Bread. With three of us eating it though, it doesn't take long for a loaf to dissappear, so there's not much chance for it to go stale. ;)
