Easy Crusty French Bread

Really good. Will add a little more flour next time... Very sticky!

I followed the recipe exactly as described and it turned out so well! I also made two bread loads and they were great too.

Great crusty bread recipe!!

First time ever making this & dang, so good!! I didn’t have a Dutch oven so I used a large metal pot, like what you boil spaghetti in, used a flat baking sheet, baked for 20 min, took off baking sheet for the last 10 min & it came out perfectly! This was a side to the baked ravioli I have saved on here. I turned half this loaf into garlic butter toast. Will make again!!

Followed the recipe as it was written. I think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. Definitely going to make it again.

It was my first time making bread and I thought it went really well! I’m excited to continue making this and maybe adding some toppings!

Finally, a CRUSTY bread! 😃🥳 I used bread flour instead of all-purpose, and it came out perfectly crusty for dipping in our stew tonight. 😋

Honestly I wish this had a way to rate this on a scale instead of just good or bad. This wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't what I wanted. It was very bland and kinda salty. It would be fine with pasta in order to mop up sauce, but I wouldn't eat it on its own. It was addmitdly very pretty, but the taste was disappointing. It didn't really taste like French bread.
