Tonight's experiment was simple - test out the "french" cycle on the bread machine.
Yeah, I'm a creature of habit. I select the same cycle (rapid regular) and use the same recipe pretty much every time.
Results: Pretty good. Fantastic crust. The bread itself is super dense - this might be the smallest 1.5 lb loaf I've ever seen. I'm a little puzzled as why that's the case - I think I deviated from the standard recipe by adding just a hair more oil and yeast, but not enough to make a difference. I think I'll just chalk it up to me winging it - something I do a lot of. I could never write a cookbook.
Looking forward to seeing how the bread holds up on sandwich duty tomorrow. Pending that, I'm declaring victory.
