Baking French Bread



I thought it was about time I learned how to make homemade French bread.  
Last week I ordered a specialty bread pan (found here) as I read great things about it.  
Then my good friend Tatiana shared her favorite recipe (which you can find here).

This morning I put it to the test.  
It is a very easy recipe to follow, but does take some time.
Was it worth it?


I used our heart bowls from the shop for the egg wash.  I love these little bowls for food prep!
I also use our tea towels to protect my countertops.


Best butter I have found is from Tillamook.  This is what I used for greasing the pan.


NOTE:  Remember to place bread pan onto a cookie sheet 
so that the butter doesn't drip through to the bottom of your oven.

Learned this the hard way.


Fresh out of the oven!


Served for lunch with a pesto pasta salad.
My boys loved it!


Then tonight I used leftovers to make a quick and delicious French Toast for dinner.  
Best French toast I have ever had!

Was it worth it to spend two hours in the kitchen for fresh French bread?

Oui  Oui!  (yes, yes)


While I won't make this every week, I do think it would be a nice treat to make monthly.

Happy baking!  Thank you for visiting!
