Just came out of the oven! Fantastic!! Going to take 2 of the loaves to wrap and freeze. Think they’ll do okay?

I have never had any left to freeze lol, but i would think they should do just fine!

Can I use all ap flour instead of bread flour?
Reply
donuts2crumpetson May 23, 2023 at 2:14 pm
Yes you can – it won’t be quite as “chewy” texture wise, but will still give you French loaves. I’ve used both. 🙂

Can I use all sprouted wheat flour either alone or with the bread flour? Thank you!

I have actually never tried this recipe with any wheat flour, but let me know how it turns out if you give it a try!

I’ve used this recipe before in baguette form and it was amazing. But could I bake these into regular sized loafs of bread instead?
Reply
donuts2crumpetson July 18, 2023 at 2:03 pm
I have never made this in regular bread pans because it’s a very crusty bread. Have you tried my recipe for Honey White Bread? That one is way better suited for bread pans in my opinion with a bit of a softer crust! The Best Honey White Bread

This recipe is to die for. My husband and I finished off 3 loaves in 4 days. I have one loaf to my parents and they’re already requesting more. Thank you so much for sharing.

My bottom crust was so soft any recommendations to make it crispy
Reply
donuts2crumpetson September 4, 2023 at 7:05 pm
Did you use a dark or light pan to bake it in, or the bread pan? If you used a baking sheet, try using a darker pan, and make sure your oven is good and hot before putting the dough in to bake? Also, did you use the ice trick? That will help the entire loaf be crispier. 🙂

I’m not sure if I made a combination of bad choices with mine, but I used olive oil, all purpose flour only, don’t own baguette pans, and had my oven set to 350° as it tends to run hot, the tops very gorgeous but the bottom of each loaf was charcoal 💔 I look forward to trying again but sticking to your recipe!

I used all purpose flower and used sunflower oil instead. I would double check if the temperature you’re getting is accurate with a thermometer. Also was the baking pan dark and did you use parchment paper?
Wanted to see if there may have been another reason and thought this link might help.

This is my go to bread when I didn’t feed my sourdough starter. My family loves it! I will also add things like jalapeños and cheese or rosemary.Reply

Haven’t tasted them yet as they are cooling, but WOW. I laughed and told my husband I reached peek human because these loaves are just so beautiful and perfect looking. They smell incredible. Thank you for sharing such a straightforward, quick and mess-free recipe for some bussin’ bread. I cannot wait to remake for hosting Christmas Day!*Note: (I personally ended up using about 4.5 cups of AP flour if this helps anyone out with stickiness.)

This is now my go to bread. I love it – can I make the dough ahead and keep. We don’t always eat it all and it’s so lovely I hate to waste? Thanks for developing this recipe – you are a starReply
donuts2crumpetson January 8, 2024 at 1:23 pm
Thank you so much for the lovely comments and rating! If you hit the jump to recipe button and look at the ingredients line, you will see the option to hit a box that says “0.5” – this will change the measurements for you so you can do half a recipe! (That will give you two loaves.) Alternatively, we have frozen a baked loaf if we don’t get through it – freezing the dough is is a little more complicated and it will only last for about 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Only my second time making bread and second recipe! I tweaked it to 1 Tablespoon of Sugar instead of 3, skipped the egg wash and just covered with melted butter at the end. So delicious and perfect!!! Everyone is so happy with it!Reply

Looking over the recipe have a couple of questions:
Have a smaller family so guess I can halve the recipe for (2) loaves
Any thoughts on substituting a starter for the yeast?Reply
donuts2crumpetson March 9, 2024 at 4:25 pm
If you use the “jump to recipe” button it will take you to a printable recipe card – on the “Ingredients” line you will see an option to half the recipe. I have never used any kind of starter for the yeast, so I’m not sure how that will turn out, but let me know if you try. 🙂

Hi! I’m a bit confused by your ingredients—is it 2 cups of bread flour and 3.1-4 cups AP flour or either or? I’m wanting to make this for a potluck tonight and want to make sure I get it right:) Thank you!!
Reply
donuts2crumpetson April 28, 2024 at 6:10 pm
So sorry, I have been out of town this past week. It’s 2 cups of bread flour then 3.5 to 4 cups of AP flour. You add enough flour for the dough to form, then stop. You might not need the whole 4 cups!

Can I cook this in a loaf pan?Reply

I don’t recommend this recipe for a loaf pan as it’s not measured for that – try this one instead: https://donuts2crumpets.com/2022/09/the-best-honey-white-bread.html

donuts2crumpetson August 11, 2024 at 1:47 pm
I live at about 5000, so you should be ok – just keep an eye on the dough when you are mixing and add enough flour to bring it together so it’s not sticking to your fingers but feels slightly tacky to the touch. 🙂
