2020 Pandemic Bread



This bread is super easy to make and only takes 1 hour from start to finish!  We started making it during the 2020 Covid-19 Corona Virus World Pandemic.  (This recipe was on the internet as Easy Peasy French Bread.)   It was very comforting to have warm, homemade bread.  And, this is such good bread, we have been loving it!  Enjoy!!


1-- Mix together:

  • 1 1/2 C very warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
Let sit for about 10 minutes while yeast foams.

2--Add:
  • 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
3--Knead until the dough is smooth.

4--Shape into oblong loaf and place on baking pan.  Set on stove while preheating oven to 400 degrees and let rise 20 to 30 minutes.

5--Using a knife, score the top of the bread lightly like French bread.

6--Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Eat warm and keep leftovers in a Ziplock bag.

  1. Thank you so much Mom! Mary has made it as well, and Sariah says it is top on her list! Even a close competition to Mary's Grandmother's delicious crescent rolls! :-)
