Food Processor French Bread With Italian Herbs

A piece of crunchy bread can make the simplest meal - soup, stew, an omelet - into a fancy meal. Many restaurants are serving frozen bread these days. This bread is often under-baked or lacking in flavor. Instead of hearing a crunch when you bite into the bread you hear nothing. Even worse, the bread feels squishy in your mouth.

What a disappointment.

The way to avoid disappointment is to bake your own bread. Your first reaction, I would wager, is that you don't have time to bake bread. Well, this recipe for French bread hardly takes any time at all and tastes as good as bakery bread. If you have a food processor you can have French bread in a flash.
Serve it straight from the oven and your family will say "Ahhhh."

INGREDIENTS

2 cups bread flour

1/2 cup wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

Assemble ingredients in food processor. Pulse. Add 1 cup warm water and process on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Place dough in bowl that has been coated with cooking spray. Cover with a towel and let dough rise until it almost reaches the top of the bowl.

Sprinkle a bread board with cornmeal. Turn dough out onto board and cut in half with a serrated knife. Pull and stretch each half into a long, thin loaf. (You may have to roll the dough a bit.) Slash the tops of the loaves with a sharp knife or scissor. Place loaves in a nonstick baguette pan.

Put the pan on the top rack of a COLD oven. Put a pan of ice cubes on the bottom rack. Set the oven temperature to 450-475 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes until the tops are light brown and the bread sounds hollow. A 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder may be added to this recipe for even more flavor.

Easy French Toast Recipes

French toast is easy to make and is a delicious dish. However, it is not easy to know exactly, where French toast comes from. Long ago it was much harder to come by food, and there was not very many ways in which to lengthen the life of many foods short of salting them for curing, so people used what they had available to feed their families. There are so many interesting stories and opinions of where it all began. Down through the ages and in nearly every country there is a variation of what is called French toast by some. This appealing treat is known by many names since times medieval.

French toast is made using different ingredients, some are sweet to the taste, while yet others are strong and savory. Overall, they made use of what they had in hand and one thing they have in common is making use of stale bread.

French toast is oh so easy to make, with the simplest or the most extensive list of ingredients, whether for a morning meal, a daytime snack or even as a light quick fix supper. You should really try some French toast.

You will need a bowl and a whisk or fork. A griddle of sorts, a skillet or frying pan will suffice; as well, you shall have a spatula. French toast also needs a platter and plates for many or a plate for each serving. You will also need forks or spoons as is preferred by individual tastes of course for eating the French toast as well as for serving utensils of condiments and garnishes while dinning. If possible, have a warm area to keep the French toast in when making more than one serving as this helps contain the warmth of the meal itself, although, cold French toast is very good too.

An Easy French Toast Recipe for an individual serving.

You will need:

Two slices of bread, your choice
Three quarter cup of milk
One teaspoon vanilla extract
One teaspoon ground cinnamon
One pinch of salt or not
One egg
Butter
An Easy French Toast Recipe for multiple servings.

You will need:

8 slices of bread, your choice
3 to 4 eggs
1 ½-cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon of onion powder

A bit of cooked meat is added, if you so choose also salt and pepper to taste.

You shall beat the eggs first then add each wet ingredient while continuing to mix thoroughly. It is best to add all dry ingredients into one concoction, and then add dry mixture into the wet batter mix, stirring as you continue. When meat or other preserves are prepared with French toast they are usually a topping of an accompaniment.

While you are mixing the batter, you should also be warming a pre-lubricated griddle. Use enough butter or oil to cook the French toast. This is over a medium heat.

Place the bread into the batter and cover both sides, however do remember that the more stale a piece of bread the longer it should stay to soak up the batter. However, a fresher piece of bread will not take as long to become pudding in the batter if left longer than needed.

Place bread on griddle and lightly brown on both sides, turning once until crisp.

Add preferred toppings, serve up hot and enjoy!
