I do like the "real" french bread too! > The easiest way is to go to Sainsburys and pick up the "one bag makes a loaf" kits from near the flour, for around 60p. All you have to do is tip the contents of the bag in, add the appropriate amount of warm water and turn the thing on. There are various varieties - our favourite is sun-dried tomato - and we've NEVER had a failure! Measuring flour, water and getting the yeast right can lead to all sorts of problems and results that can be described as "interesting" - anything from a loaf that tries to crawl out of the top of the breadmaker to stuff which would serve as Dwarf Battle Bread (Terry Pratchett reference).
