Who invented french bread?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bob Petrillose is credited with having invented French bread pizza (later licensed to Stouffer's).Actually the French stole this one too. The reason the bread has such a lovely crust and creamy holed interior is from steam, lots of it! And the process for steaming your ovens came from Vienna, the place that all those lovely pastries came from. But the French did adopt it for their own and turned it into a baguette and much more. They have taken it to new heights and continue to develop it as it isn't done yet. Improvements and new ways are still being discovered.

What is french bread called in France?

I imagine you are referring to a baguette... it is a long, cylindrical shaped loaf with a nice crunchy crust and soft inside... it's delicious, especially freshly baked. In Paris, when you go to the boulangerie (the bakery, or bread shop)you ask for the baguette you like, and they give it to you without putting it in a bag, just with a piece of paper around the middle... and you walk out of the store holding it like that, or put it in a bag that you brought (though some of the boulangeries now will offer a bag). It is quite charming and the smell is absolutely fantastic. The other word for bread...just bread in general.. is le pain (luh pah-n).

The question cannot be answered, because white french bread is wheat bread. Any bread made with wheat flour is wheat bread. You might intend to ask about whole wheat or whole grain bread, which is made with part or all whole grain flour.

How often do the french buy bread?

Asked by Wiki User

French are known to love baguettes. They are thin, long loaves weighting 250 grammes. Another common loaf is 'le pain' (literally 'the bread') which is a little heavier (400 g). The bread is white and contains nothing but flour, water, a pinch of salt and yeast. There are no preservatives or added fat as you may find in industrial breads. (you can buy these in supermarkets, but the noun will be 'pain de mie', and not 'pain')

If you took your french bread dough out of the breadmaker and into the oven how long should you bake it for as a baguette?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For a standard size loaf (in an aluminum loaf pan) I would start with 30 minutes at 375 degrees. You can test for doneness by turning the loaf out of the pan and thumping the bottom--it should sound hollow. If it seems too soft bake for another 10 minutes and test again. Very dense whole grain breads may take longer. Once the bread is done let cool completely on a wire rack.
