Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, this Easy French Bread Recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing. It is our family’s favorite bread recipe.
The only downside to fresh, homemade bread is that it can take a bit of time. Proofing, rising, rolling, rising etc. Today’s recipe is a quick and easy one. It may not be quite as quick as the 30 Minute Roll recipe I have on my blog, but it is pretty close. And the results are two delicious loaves of French bread that arecrusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
The steam that is given off from the water helps the loaf get that nice crust that a good loaf of easy French bread needs.
Ingredient Homemade French Bread
After forming the loaves, let them rise, covered on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush top of bread with egg wash or olive oil (you won’t get as golden a color with olive oil), sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
It freezes great, just be sure to cool it completely and wrap up air tight. It will keep in the freezer for 1-2 months.
Rapid rise yeast will work fine. I use the same amount as I do of active dry yeast. Just add the rapid rise yeast directly in with the flour, no need to add it to the warm water first.
Easy Homemade French Bread Recipe
If you want to use whole wheat flour, I recommend using half whole wheat and half white flour. I always use a white whole wheat flour.
If you want to skip the pan full of water in the oven. Preheat your oven to a 375 degree F. oven. Allow the bread to rise for 15-20 minutes after forming into loaves. Then place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.

French Bread Pizza
I absolutely love making bread and rolls of all kinds. There’s something so satisfying about making them in your own kitchen. The smell is unbelievable. We love to serve this homemade french bread with softened butter, honey and/or jam. So so good. Trust me when I say, this is the best french bread recipe!
Since this recipe makes two loaves, sometimes we freeze one of them for later. To freeze, wrap the bread tightly in foil or saran wrap (make sure it has cooled completely). Then place in a zip top bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Crispy crust: I prefer a soft crust, but for a crispier/shinier crust, brush 1 egg white (whisked) with a teaspoon of water before baking french bread loaf. You can also add a few ice cubes into the oven to help trap the steam and add a few minutes onto the cooking time.
