I consider crusty French bread as the ultimate pair with any of those rich main courses. Not only as that, actually. Crusty French bread is a must have for me because it takes away my little cravings. In our house, we always make sure that we have some good bread in the pantry. My mother used to say that a perfect kitchen always has homemade bread that anyone can eat whenever they are hungry. Sometimes, we buy it, but most of the time, I just make it. I have a lot of simple bread recipes courtesy of my mother and my friends, and it’s something that I get to enjoy every time I need a simple snack to fill my tummy. There are those times when you get hungry in the middle of work and you just want something that’s not sweet. My answer is usually a slice of crusty bread smothered with cream cheese or butter.
This crusty French bread recipe is a bit easier to make than other breads, at least when it comes to the preparation part. Anyway, even if this takes a little time on your part, the end result is all worth it. This bread is truly delicious. You will enjoy the crunchy crust and the moist bread inside. This is perfect to serve as a pair to soup, salad, or stews. It’s even perfect with any type of chicken dish. My husband sometimes eats this with pot roast or fried chicken even. Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try this crusty French bread recipe so you can serve it to your family along with that tasty supper!
