French Bread with Jam | This Is Why I’m Full
The Hubby has been trying to make his own bread for about a year now and while it has always been tasty, since we got our KitchenAid Mixer
We have posted the recipe for the bread already, but I figured why not post it again to show it’s versatility! You can put anything on this airy and delicious bread and it is always delicious!

- 2 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp Yeast
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1/3 cup Oil
- 6 1/2 to 7 cup Flour
- 1 large egg well beaten
- 1 tbsp Water
- Recipe makes two large loaves.
- In a large mixing bowl add the water, yeast and sugar.
- Let sit until bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Then add the vinegar, salt, oil and flour, one cup at a time.
- Knead on medium speed for 7-10 minutes.
- Place the dough into a greased bowl and let it raise to the top, punch it down and raise again, repeated 2-5 times.
- Once this has been done multiple times put the dough on a greased countertop and divide into 2 sections.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal on the bottom of the sheet.
- Roll the dough balls into long french bread shapes.
- Place on the cornmeal covered cookie sheet and slash the tops of the bread diagonally with a very sharp knife.
- Combine the egg and water together and beat well.
- Take a brush and spread the egg and water mixture over the bread loaves, this will make the crust crunchy, shiny and golden brown during baking.
- Let the loaves rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes.
That bread looks so good, I love jammy toast!
