Easy French Bread Recipe
2 ¼ cups warm water (not too hot to drink but hotter than luke warm)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp yeast (instant or active dry yeast)
2 ½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
5–6 cups of all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
Fit your stand mixer with a dough hook (if you don’t have a stand mixer you can just use a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon). Add in the water, sugar and yeast. If using active dry yeast let the mixture sit for 3 minutes, until foamy. If using instant yeast, no need to wait go on to step 2.
Add in the salt, oil and 2 cups of the flour and mix on low for 15 seconds. Add in 3-4 more cups of flour a little at a time while the mixer is on low. Stop adding flour once the dough clears the sides and middle of the bowl. Then let the mixer knead the bread for 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
Spray your Instant Pot liner with non stick cooking spray. Add the dough into the Instant Pot. Turn your Instant Pot to the yogurt setting and click adjust until it select the yogurt button. Use the adjust button to cycle through until the light is on the “less.” My pot says 24 hours on the display. Then cover the pot with a glass lid or a plate (see note). Let the dough double in size, about 30 minutes.
Spread a little flour on your counter and turn the dough onto the counter. Divide the dough in half. Pat each dough ball into a rectangle a little bigger than the size of a notebook paper. Roll the dough up starting from the long size and press out any air bubbles with the heel of your hand. Pinch the seam. Place the bread seam side down on a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick spray or lined with parchment (see note). Then repeat with the other loaf of bread.
Use a serrated knife to slash four lines (very gently) in the top of your bread.
Lay a clean kitchen towel over the top of the bread and let it raise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Heat your oven to 375° F. Bake for 12 minutes and then rotate the pan and bake for 12 more minutes until the bread is golden.
Note: DO NOT use the normal Instant Pot lid. If you do the dough might raise so high that it pushes the valve up and indicates to the pot that there is pressure. You won't be able to open the pot and the lid will be stuck.

Simple, Everyday French Bread At Home
Printable recipe:
INGREDIENTS
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons traditional or instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour (plus more for kneading)
DIRECTIONS
Combine water with yeast and let bloom for 10 minutes. If you have any trouble with this step, read this troubleshooting yeast guide:
Add a half cup of flour and salt to the yeast mixture and whisk together until smooth.
Add two more cups of flour and stir together until the dough comes together.
Using clean hands, knead the dough into a ball. You may do this right in the bowl or turn it out to a floured surface. It may be stiff; just work it until it's a cohesive ball.
Place the dough into a clean bowl, cover and let rest for 15. This lets the gluten in the flour relax, making it easier to knead.
Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Ideally you would knead this for 10 minutes.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover and let rise for in a draft-free, warm location for one hour or until the dough has doubled in size. A good place for this is in the oven with just the oven light on.
Punch down the dough and knead again for a few minutes.
Place the dough back in the bowl to rise for a second time. Again, let it rise for one hour or until doubled in size in a warm location.
Remove the dough from the bowl, punch it down and divide the dough into equal pieces. You can make two large loaves or four smaller loaves.
Shape them into long loaf shapes and place them on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Cover the loaves with a damp, lint-free cloth and let rise for 45 minutes or until the loaves have doubled in size.
Place a metal baking pan on the bottom rack in your oven. DO NOT USE GLASS. Place the second rack in the middle of the oven.
Preheat the oven to 450 F (232 C).
Prepare a spray bottle with water and, separately, a cup of cool or room temperature water.
When the oven is hot, remove the cloth from the dough carefully. If the dough sticks to the cloth, drip some water on top of the cloth to help it release.
Make slashes on the top of the loaves, either a few diagonally across the loaves or one slash down the length.
When the oven is well-heated, place the loaves on the middle rack and quickly pour the cup of water in the baking pan below and close the oven door. Be careful as there will be steam.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops look golden. This is a very hot oven so be careful. Some ovens can run hotter than the indicator says so please check on it early.
Remove the loaves from the oven and cool them on a wire rack. The tops of the loaves should be golden brown and they should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Wait at least a half hour before slicing.
Enjoy!

Perfect Homemade Garlic Bread (3 Ways)
Who doesn't need some homemade garlic bread in their life? It's fairly simple to make, yet oh so amazing. Obviously, garlic bread has had some serious clout since it's invention... okay maybe not (it stems from bruschetta), but you get the point. Garlic and butter already go well together so when we combine those ingredients with bread, we're creating three simply and utterly delicious types of garlic bread.

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
