Amazing and Easy French Bread Recipe
I am NOT a baker, I do not love to cook. I do it because my family needs to eat. But when I find an amazing recipe, I just have to share it with you. Being out in the middle of nowhere, I’m going to have to do more baking, because you just can’t get to the store or the store doesn’t have it. I have an awesome spinach dip recipe and it tastes great with French bread. The problem, the grocery store that is 45 minutes away from us doesn’t have good French bread. Luckily the women out here are amazing cooks and my friend had this super yummy and easy recipe for French bread.
If you don’t usually make bread (this was my first EVER), here are a few tips you should know before you try it. Hot water kills the yeast (yup did that on the first batch). The recipes calls for warm water, so in my mind putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds wouldn’t hurt. I was wrong. Go with luke warm water. And put the sugar in before the salt.
This is how you make it:

Roll the dough onto itself (like as if you are rolling a cinnamon roll) starting at the long edges (so the width of the roll is about 9”).

Do you refrigerate or freeze your yeast? I am worried that warm water wont be warm enough if my yeast is frozen.
