Esta entrada también está disponible en: Español

If you are a fan of whole wheat bread, today I bring you this fabulous recipe for making french bread with whole wheat! Spectacular! Ideal for sandwiches or to accompany any meal of the day. A classic bread, crispy on the outside and good crumb on the inside.

Generally, a mold is used to make the baguettes. But it really is not totally necessary. There are other ways to be successful and achieve the same shape but without a mold. But if you have it you will save an extra step of course.

Do not be disappointed if the bread does not work out the first time, you must try it several times because each time you do it, it will come out better.

About the preparation:

It is very simple and the ingredients are the same as those used for any other whole wheat bread. It only takes a large kitchen cloth, cloth tablecloth or some old sheet that have to shape these French breads (in the instructions you will see the photo of how to do it).

Also a sharp knife is needed. I use a hand saw knife. I tell you my secret to cut better. With a glass of water between cuts, immerse in water, so that the knife cuts the dough better. This will make cutting easier and more tidy because the knife slides better.

So that the bread is crispy on the outside but not dry on the inside, what is generally done is to place a container on the oven floor with half a glass of water so that it generates steam during cooking. When you are about to put the bread in the oven, place the container with the water at the same time.

Once the bread is baked, let it cool well. You can freeze this bread for 3 months without any problems.
