My bread came out just ok, but to be fair I did the second proof in the refrigerator overnight to split it up. It really didn't rise in the fridge so the bread was much more dense than what I would have liked. Really didn't taste like true french bread at all but that could have been my fault and not the recipe. I think I'll try other recipes before I try this one again. I did use the 1.5 tsp salt instead of 1.5 tbsp like everyone suggested. It probably could have used just a little bit more but tbsp would have been way too much.

Very authentic French bread. After reading the excellent recommendations by previous reviews I tweaked it in the following ways: 1 2 tsp salt, 2 watch the rise, 1.5 hrs is too long to double(I put it inside my microwave to rise, 3baked for 30 minutes at 375. Like all fresh French bread, it's meant to be eaten the same day it's baked. It doesn't keep well like store bought, but it's so easy to make, you can make it 2 or three times a week and have fresh bread every day.

I've always wanted to make French Bread at home. So this was my first
time.... Absolutely delicious! I, like others, corrected the typo on
the amount of salt (it pays to read reviews first, and used a little over 1 1/2 tsp. The loaves turned out phenomenal!! This recipe is a keeper! and is now in my favorite recipe box at home.

This bread was very easy to make,All but very bland,even with the table spoon and one half of salt, which I found a misprint after reading reviews.I'll try again with tsp of salt.

For jimmay: make sure your yeast hadn't expired. That's happened to me a few times!
