Hi! 

Have you ever made your own french bread? How did you do it?

I was looking up recipes online and some of them seem quite difficult. I am wondering if I can make regular white bread, like I do everyday, and just bake it differently. I'm just not sure which way to do it.

I just want something easy that will still taste good.

Ahhhh home made breads....   the best book I've ever used, and had for decades is the "Fleischmann's Yeast Best-Ever Breads".

Yeast breads, Loaves, rolls & buns, sweetbreads & coffee cakes, holiday & specialty breads, pizza, & bread machines.
