How to Create Your Own French Boule
When you think of France, do you imagine Paris Hilton in her boho ratty Paris Hilton hairstyle? Perhaps you see her at one of her many movie characters, or even her many French fashion shows. French Boule is the common term used to refer to the bread produced in the region of France known as Provence. It's the basic loaf of French bread that inspired the classic idyllic image of Paris Hilton with that ratty bun!

A traditional round French bread shaped to resemble a star. Crusty indoors and soft out make this bread just right for using as a serving tray for a popular summer recipe. White bread may be used instead of wheat from the French bread recipe. You will need a soft dough for the crumb and utilize a gluten-free flour if at all possible. This bread will grow quickly and have a tendency to increase in the oven as opposed to cook like a wheat bread.

For the preparation of the bread, you'll need soft wheat flour, a yeast infection proof pinch, brown sugar, sea salt, and unbleached flour. Mix these ingredients together and let the mixture rise until it's done, about two hours. Once done, remove it from the oven and preheat your oven for about forty-five minutes, check the baking time on the back of the oven door to be sure that you don't over bake.

Place your prepared French house onto a clean surface, add your dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Make sure all the components are blended well and spread out onto the floured surface. Add your sugar and yeast to the mixture and turn off the oven. Allow the bread rise another 3 hours, then baste it with warm butter.

After the next day, remove the bread from the oven and slice it into small pieces. You may notice that the slices have become tighter. This is from the wheat germ and barley mixture which you have worked so hard to prepare. Allow the bread to cool and put it in a large bowl, or casserole dish. Insert your butter and sea salt and mix these ingredients thoroughly.

Shape the dough into a rough oblong shape, cover it with your sealer and let it rest for around thirty minutes to give the yeast time to begin working. Once the timer goes off, remove the piece of bread from the casserole dish and dip it into half-inch pieces. Mix the pieces with your hands until they form a soft inside paste. Then form this paste into the bottom and top of each slice of bread.

Form the French home to a tight loaf, cover it with a loose-fitting sheet of paper and place in the oven at the recommended temperature for your oven, which is about 350 degrees. Remove the sandwich after about five minutes and check for doneness. When it's done, let the sandwich cool and enjoy. Bear in mind, if you find the loaf too dry, you can always add more bread flour or milk and bake it again.

Make sure you get a well-oiled mix of all the ingredients before starting to knead your own mixture. The mix you use should be one that doesn't have a great deal of oil in it. The main reason is that some doughs are in fact too dry when formed. To ensure that your mixture is properly combined and prepared to go, take a tablespoon of your cooking flour and turn it into a ball of dough. Knead the chunk of dough for about three minutes and then turn it out onto a floured surface.
