Rosemary,

I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure. I would assume it would be fine. Please let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.

Hi there – can you use all whole wheat flour instead if 1/2 wheat 1/2 all purpose?

Thank you ~ Rosemary

I just made this bread and it came out amazing. It came out with a nice crust with a soft and fluffy inside. After I added the egg wash I sprinkles a little Parmesan cheese on top as well. I also foil tented it half way through so it would not over cook the top. I purchases a french bread pan as well which made it the perfect shape. Thanks for posting this recipe, my first one from my bread machine recipe book was a fail.

I followed the recipe exactly and had to throw it out! No taste, hard and the texture was terrible. What did I do wron?

Kathryn,

I didn’t take it as criticism at all. Garlic get’s fairly sweet & subtle after roasting so I thought it was a wonderful addition to this bread. It’s totally a personal preference and you don’t have to include it if you don’t want to.

Cheers,
Pam

By the way, I hope you don’t take that as a criticism, I was just browsing through some of your recipes and they look amazing!

Is the chopped garlic necessary? I thought french bread was supposed to be kind of sweet. Is it more of a personal preference thing? Although, I bet it would smell AWESOME while cooking….hmmmm…

In reply to Poe.

Poe,

In my experience, whole wheat flour makes my breads more dense than regular flour too. Luckily, my family still enjoys it. I don’t know what could be done to make it fluffier.
