TUSCAN HERB FRENCH BREAD INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITIONS

• Olive Oil – Only buy extra virgin olive oil, first cold press and not in a clear glass bottle. This olive oil is great! 
• Herbs – In this recipe you can either use dried or fresh herbs.
• Water
• Sea Salt
• Garlic Powder
• Sugar – We’ve made this with granulated sugar and also cane sugar, both are great.
• Instant Dry Yeast – For any bread machine recipe, you’ll want to use Instant Yeast! Yeast is in stock right now.
• All Purpose Flour – This is the number one thing I love most about this recipe, it calls for all purpose flour! We use King Arthur’s Flour!

Can I use other flours? Although I have yet to try using other flours, I’ve had a few people mention using bread flour instead of AP flour. And also someone mentioned using half AP and Whole Wheat. 

Can I use fresh herbs? Yes, substitute the dried herbs for a combined mixture of two tablespoons a little heavier on the rosemary side – chopped herbs.

HOW TO MAKE TUSCAN HERB FRENCH BREAD IN THE BREAD MACHINE

We’ve been making our own bread for a while now and it’s been especially great during this year.

It’s not loaded with sugar or preservatives, and no packaging which is another important thing for me.
