Homemade French Bread doesn’t get any easier than this. The perfect golden crust on the outside & soft & chewy on the inside, and the best part is that it is ready in just about an hour. You can’t help but fall in love.

NOTE - I have found that the dough gets worked enough with the mixer and the shaping process that it doesn't require additional kneading. However, if it isn't stretchy enough for your liking and you would like more gluten in the dough - you can knead it for a few minutes before shaping.
