Recipe for Heart Healthy French Bread

Here is how I transformed a traditional (e.g., sodium-packed) recipe for French Bread into an incredible Heart Healthy Recipe for French Bread.


The key: (1) replace the butter in the original ingredients with "unsalted butter"; (2) replace the salt in the original ingredients with NoSalt (sodium-free salt substitute).


Classic French Bread Recipe

1 cup + 2 tbsp Water
2 tsp Unsalted Butter
3-1/4 c Bread Flour
1 tbsp Sugar
1-1/2 tsp NoSalt
2-1/4 tsp Yeast

Place ingredient in bread machine in the following order: water, butter, bread flour, sugar and salt. Make a small indentation on one side of the flour for the yeast (making sure it does not come in contact with the liquid ingredients).

Make using the "French Bread" program with medium crust and 1.5lb loaf setting (3.5 - 4hrs). Remove from bread pan & cool.
