[This is Cheshire Cat's "staple" bread - there's always fresh french bread around, or in the works!] This Easy French is exactly that - easy. And from its light, chew interior to its crusty crust, it tastes great.

To develop the crisp crust that French bread is famous for, turn the machine off and reset it after the first knead cycle is completed.

This gives the bead extra kneadint time and results in a crisp crust.
