Easy Homemade Bread – Free Recipe

It’s been called the “best free bread recipe on the Internet”…

This recipe was originally published on GoodByeCityLife in 1999. In a redesign in September 2009 the formatting may be off. If so, please visit again next week and I will have it fixed by then.

No Knead French Baguette

This makes delicious small crusty loaves. Golden brown on the outside, moist and slightly chewy inside.

A nice bread to compliment dinners with a main dish of pasta (great with pesto, cream or pink sauce as well).

Plus, on day 2, you can use any remaining for my personal favorite, bruschetta with feta.

The best part about this recipe? Even an amateur bread baker can get great resutls! No kneading is required.

Method
	In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
	Add sugar, salt, shortening and 1 cup warm water; stir until dissolved.
	Add flour and stir until smooth (you may or may not knead).
	Cover and let rise in a draft-free, warm place for an hour or until doubled.
	Turn onto floured surface. Divide in half; let rest for 5 minutes.
	Roll each half into a 10" x 8" rectangle. Roll up from the long side; pinch along seam edges to seal.
	Place seam side down on oiled baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise again until doubled, approximately 45 minutes.
	With a very sharp knife, make five diagonal cuts across the top of each loaf.
	Bake as directed or until lightly browned.
	Cool on wire racks.

You’re going to love the way this recipe turns out – so much so that you’ll want to make more wonderful, delicious loaves just like it!

About the eBook "Pro Bread Secrets"

This ebook is the first of many for author Laura Childs, although to date this is the only recipe book.

The book itself is loaded with 23 recipes, tested in at least 40 kitchens now, by well over 40 different cooks.

This is an ebook which means you buy it, download it to your computer and access it at anytime. No need for an internet connection!

You can print out the entire ebook, just a few recipes…it’s all up to you! At the moment however, this ebook only works with PC based systems and MACs running Virtual Windows. It will not run on a standard
MAC computer.

Laura Childs says: "I first discovered my love of bread when I was 35 years old! I don’t mean store bought gummy goo, I mean homemade bread from a skillful baker.

"Having the good fortune to test, eat and learn from my friend’s mother, I’ve found that bread making can be easy and fun, and the rewards are great.

"Since writing this book (nearly 7 years ago now), I have encountered many people who had tried and failed to bake bread, hmmm…never tasted the true goodness of hot from the oven, and/or were intimidated to even try one recipe. Change is good!

"Within a few trials each one of them was baking bread like a pro after following the simple tutorial and using the tried-and-true recipes within Pro Bread Secrets."

Thank you for supporting our website and community effort by purchasing this book. My email address is on every
page of the ebook and I love to hear from fellow bakers, so if you need to ask a question or want to drop me a note I’d be honored to hear from
you!
