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

Pull out your bread machine, plug in and open the lid.

In a small bowl stir your dried(or fresh) herbs and olive oil together. Set aside.

Pour the ingredients into the basket of the bread machine in this order; Water, Salt, Sugar, Yeast*, Olive Oil mixture and then Flour.

*Most bread machines and instant yeast do not require you to set the yeast so be sure to read your manual and the back of the yeast. I know my bread machine does not and neither does the Instant Yeast I use.

Close the lid; set your machine to French setting, 1.5 lb loaf and light crust. Click start and you’ll have beautiful fresh flavorful bread in about 3 1/2 hours.

When the bread is done, carefully remove it from the basket and let sit on counter for 5 min.

Serve warm or cold, do as you wish. Just store it properly for freshness and so it doesn’t go stale quickly.

It will last about 3-4 days stored in a cloth bag in a dark area of your kitchen or pantry.

If you don’t have a cloth bag or a bread container, a freezer size ziplock bag works just as good.

WHAT TO SERVE TUSCAN HERB FRENCH BREAD WITH?

Homemade Butter is easy and delicious to make or make a sweet Whipped Honey Butter.
Any of these soup or stew recipes with a side of fresh bread; Calico Beans, Beef & Bean Stew, or even this best Meatloaf Recipe.
Pair it with these amazing recipes as well; Stuffed Acorn Squash, German Beef Roulade or Slow Cooker Meatballs.

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS:

Bread Machine is essential for this recipe and I know they were selling off the shelves back in Spring but good news they’re in stock again and would make a great gift.
These are the Measuring Spoons and Cups I own and they are great and on sale right now.
Bread Container or Cloth Bag for storing your bread.
Bread Slicer, I just put this in my cart as it’d make cutting the bread so easy!

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.
