About

Loaves of ready-to-bake French bread are a really convenient standby to have in your cupboard for those occasions when you’ve eaten all the bread at breakfast and haven’t been shopping yet. You can adapt the recipe to use whatever different flavor combinations you like, such as mozzarella, roasted red bell pepper, pesto and prosciutto, or blue cheese, spinach leaves, avocado and bottled caramelized onions.
