French Bread


I love you tube. I think everyone with a workable knowledge of the internet has probably spent hours and hours of their lives browsing the site. Sure, there are way too many videos of teens skate-boarding into walls and "talking" household pets, but there are also some really great tutorials. I am a huge advocate of the food channel, but they rarely get into yeast. I found this one yesterday and decided to test it out. Listen for the crunch at the end when he bites into it! That marvelous sound sold me. I HAD to make this.

The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, but just to encourage you to try it- it takes about 10 minutes of labor and 3 hours of rising time to make this. And that 10 minutes includes the time it takes for washing your bowl (yes this only takes one bowl!).Although mine did not get quite as golden as his did, I think it turned out lovely and crunchy. If I had warmed brie, apples, and fresh bread for one meal a day for the rest of my life I would be a very, very happy girl, and I would never, never tire of it.
