I remembered that my new fancy pants food processor came with a dough blade and some recipes in the instruction manual. I was going to the grocery store, anyway, so I just made sure I added on the missing ingredients to my list.
This is what I ended up with...it is supposed to be French bread. I would have gone with regular bread, but I don't think that I have two loaf pans.
I guess I could have let it bake a bit longer so that it was a tiny bit more brown on top, but I don't think that will affect the taste at all. I haven't tasted it yet because it is still cooling. I'm thinking that the only reason I haven't had to shoo my husband away is because he is watching some wrestling program on pay-per-view. I did have to chase the dog outside, though, so that is always a good sign.

How brave! I've always been timid when it comes to baking bread. Yours looks pretty though, I'm sure it'll taste great!
Guaranteed to taste great Sally - you rock! And french bread is a very ambitious first attempt - and this looks GREAT!
If you want it a little darker [not that it matters] you can always give it an egg [or butter] wash and put it under the broiler for a few secs, but I think this is a stupendous first effort.
I think the fragrance of baking bread is one of the best parts of making your own.
First bread project 'French bread', very ambitious indeed. I have yet ton try that, my mixer has a recipe for it too and I'm very intrigued as I love French bread. My family loves multiple-grain bread and I just discovered a recipe for one that is fabulous. If your curious check out my blog I have a link.
