This bread machine French bread recipe is very easy to make. It only uses a few simple ingredients such as flour, water, salt and yeast. Moreover, our French bread tastes great and you can easily mold it into a beautiful baguette shape. Your family will be amazed by your baking skills… while you smirk because you made it with the help of a bread machine! This bread recipe can also be a fun family project, especially if you have small children. Have them shape your bread for you. You can always reshape the dough if they create a food monstrosity.
This is a pretty simple recipe because I made it for beginners. Many online French bread recipes call for a number of different “rising” periods, complex rolling & shaping of the bread, adding steam inside the oven, etc. However, my French bread recipe does not include these steps because I believe that bread machine recipes should not be too complicated. Let professional bakers make the fancy, over complicated and expensive baguettes while you make some easy, delicious and very inexpensive homemade French bread & baguettes for your family.
Please be aware that this is not the usual set & forget bread machine recipe. You will have to shape the bread in order to create the classic baguette shape (versus getting the standard bread machine “block” shape). Moreover, given the baguette shape, this French bread needs to be finished in an oven. Nevertheless, this bread machine recipe is much easier than making French bread by hand! It also looks much nicer than a “block” of bread machine bread.

The Best Easy Bread Machine Bread Recipe
Traditional French bread is called a baguette. A baguette comes in a long narrow cylindrical shape. The word baguette means wand, baton or stick. French bread or baguette is typically made from flour, water, yeast and salt. Nevertheless, there are many other types of well-known breads from France such as the brioche, fougasse, pain de campagne, etc.
If your bread machine has a French bread setting, it will allow you to make a crusty “French-type” bread with your bread machine. However, the bread will not be in a baguette share. Rather the bread will be in the standard bread machine “block” shape. The resulting bread is basically a bread machine white bread recipe that has been baked longer and has a thicker crust.
If you want to make a French bread with a baguette shape, please try the bread machine recipe on this page. Or if you prefer a block shaped French bread loaf, please read the instructions/manual included with your bread machine because it should contain a basic French bread recipe that will work on your machine. However, be aware that some bread machines have a very limited number of settings and may not have a French bread setting.
Recipe: Bread Machine French Baguette
Personally, I think that our bread machine French baguette recipe creates a French bread that is much nicer and tastes better than the standard “block” bread machine French bread.
You can cut French bread down the middle and add your favorite sandwich ingredients (i.e. cold cuts) in order to make it into a delicious hero or sub. Or cut the French bread into slices and slather on some butter, cream cheese or olive oil. Yum! In my opinion, French bread tastes even better when it is still warm.
There are hundreds of different French and Italian breads so it is hard to generalize. However, in America, the typical “French” bread is usually made with just flour, water, yeast and salt. American-style French bread is also typically in a thin baguette shape and has a harder crust. In contrast, in America, the typical “Italian” bread may contain more ingredients such as milk and sugar. American-style Italian bread is also typically a wider loaf (versus a narrow baguette) and has a softer crust.
