I've been waiting for this video. I just want to tell u that you are a superhero of a Mom..Edit: actually your whole family is Very admirable. You're all such a great example for society as a whole. You guys do it all, and with such a positive attitude 😊

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Awww, thank you so very much for those sweet words! Our motto in this house is, "Do the next right thing." At least, that's what I try to instill in the children!. 😉

[@tammyf8921]

What a great mother 😘

[@larriacarroll1932]

I'm in heaven! I finally have a recipe for French bread that works! 40 years and I can finally do it! Thank you Janice and Abigail. Also absolutely ❤ how you taught Abigail, parenting like all people should.

[@Spooky_Dook]

Idk about anyone else but their videos bring me so much comfort & peace. 🌻.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for that. You made me smile! 💖

[@annevans5547]

Nice to see the children helping . The don't even complain about it . Your a good Mother and teacher. Love your videos. Have good evening

[@stitchengramie]

I always helped my grandma when she was making bread to bake. She was a great teacher. She taught me how to make a lot of bake goods.

[@reginastephens935]

Interesting method for making French bread. I’ve made French bread before but never knew about the kneading every 10 minutes.

[@batbseverino6015]

I will definitely try the recipe. I have my Grandma”s rolling pin. I am 71 and it is my most prized possession

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

What a precious treasure to have! :)

[@monamartin3022]

The bread looks so good. Going to make it. It's good to see the whole family at the table , and your children cooking. You are a good , patient mama.

[@lanatrapp1589]

Oh my gosh. That 🍞. I love baking. I'm going to have to try this once I'm up and around. Can I just say that your little helper, Abigail. She has a smile that lights up the room. You're a good momma. Letting them help prepare the food.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I have faith that you'll be up and baking bread in no time, Lana! 💕 I think everyone needs an Abigail in the kitchen to help make cooking more fun! 😉

[@shelbycorey6785]

I love making homemade bread . I make bread at Christmas and give it and jam that I canned as Christmas gifts. People love that better than store bought gifts .

[@loriella6250]

Love Abigail’s big smile! It’s contagious. 😊

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Woo hoo!!!! Thank you for that awesome compliment! You made this Momma smile! 😃

[@doloreswilson6698]

😋 yummy yummy. Put fresh butter and garlic 😋 heat and eat 😋. Great tip I didn't know that 😋

[@cherigoodwin5846]

Thank you for doing these videos. I know they're a lot of work and probably a pain in the neck to your family, but they are very helpful to some of us. We appreciate you and your family's hard work!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for that, Cheri! I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment something sweet. :)

[@deeengstrom2055]

As I said before, you make me think so much of my Southern Iowa and Missouri cousins. Of course, that makes me feel like you're a cousin too. Love you and your videos.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I would love to be an honorary cousin!! Thanks for the super-sweet comment! 💕

[@CMcKinnon1013]

I love how u teach ur girls, as you go.. i will always remember "slice", and most likely Abigal will too. ❤😊

[@CaliMishell]

I made this today to go with my family’s spaghetti and meatball dinner tonight. I halved the recipe because my family is much smaller than yours. This is THE BEST French bread recipes I’ve ever tried. I did need to add just a tiny bit more water. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yay!!! That makes me so happy to know that your family enjoyed it! :)

[@christinesprout4957]

I come from a family of 12 siblings. Our sweet mama always gave us chores. I don't know how she did all that she did. I miss her so much!❤

[@lisaharrigan1370]

Great tip about using a plastic lid for the salt jar! I bet a lot of people wouldn't have thought about the salt corroding the metal lids. The French bread looks wonderful!

[@6240tv]

love recipe I myself would one mix the yeast sugar and water in big bowl ( the main bowl you will mix the bread dough ) =reason i hate dishes lol ... and I find feeding my yeast with sugar helps me make better product . let sit till yeast proofs meanwhile mix the flour salt oil etc in another bowl slowly incorporate flour into proofed yeast then after rolling up and sealing dough i would take and dip my finger tip make dough slightly damp and pinch seal it .. just like one would do with homemade pie crust I Was taught this by my granny I am one who ends up having trouble with my pie crust at times tearing so the water trick really helps !

[@CaliMishell]

I’ve been trying to perfect bread making. Last night I made a delicious Italian bread. I was so pleased. This recipe is on my list for tomorrow 😬

[@ClaudiaPowers-p9s]

Love how organized and structured you are. I look forward to trying the recipe this weekend.

[@beckymoore2401]

Thank you Janice for that tutorial on your French bread. I’m definitely going to try it. We just may have the lazagna soup along with the French bread. It looked really good!

[@theresamascorro2724]

Thank you for this tutorial I’m trying in a few days.

[@mollysministuff]

Made this for a potluck and it was a hit! Both loaves were gone by the end :)

[@christinabryant5725]

Way to go, little helper!!!🎉

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Abigail’s smile, lights up,the room!

[@marciebray5303]

You are going to have the happiest son in law s in mo.

[@dianejohanson98]

I used to make French bread several times a year. I always used an egg white glaze on the tops before baking. It makes the loaves a bit browner with a shiny crust.

[@linnaellis212]

Ok, I’ve got two loaves of this delightfully easy French bread in the oven….🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Ooooohhhh, that's so exciting!!! I hope it turned out AMAZING for you! 😍

[@garyrogers8688]

She did a great job yummy to the tummy

[@cathyburns750]

2 beautiful loaves of bread! I watched Sarah's lasagna soup video as well!! Great job!! What a feast!! Thanks for sharing guys!! Hugs and blessings!!

[@jenjoy3215]

Loving this family and their family dynamics.

[@monicalogsdon]

Hi Ozark family My husband and I are attempting to make this meal of the homemade French bread and the lasagna soup I'm trying to make a half batch of the lasagna soup so I'm hoping it turns out because I know even a half batch will be eating leftovers for quite a while with it and then with the French bread I'm planning on making a hole recipe and then freezing some of it like you said because we'll never be able to eat a whole loaf let alone too in one sitting. We really enjoy watching you and think your kids are very well-mannered and helpful and it's refreshing because they seem to not have the attitude that most kids their age have today so I hope you guys are having a good day and hopefully Sean is feeling better from his kidney stones Love from Monica and Heath

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Hi Monica! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I hope your meal turned out amazing! I bet you did have a decent amount of leftovers if you're just feeding the two of you. Please know that your sweet words about my children were appreciated. You definitely made me smile! :)

[@Thepioneerfarmhouse]

I have never tried making bread, other than using the bread machine. I will have to try this recipe.

[@RhondaBliss]

Love watching your videos, they are great and I enjoy seeing when you have new posts 😇

[@sharongriffith7505]

I mix and knead all of my breads with my hands and without the aid of mixer or bread machine. I love hand kneading as it is so therapeutic to me. I make regular bread, Italian bread and sourdough but I have never made French. Some days, I literally mix the dry and wet ingredients with my bare hands and other days I use a wooden spoon.

[@sharongriffith7505]

Actually have not gotten to watch the actual video but I will later today.

[@stitchengramie]

I always wanted to know how to make French bread. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@maegardnermills4292]

Shawn loves history. You and your daughters are fast learners on baking breads. I have French HUGUENOT in my family. A family, not related to me as far as I know at this time has a very important history. They baked their Bible in the homemade bread. It will be interesting for your family to know that. God Bless.

[@maegardnermills4292]

They had to hide it.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Very neat story, Mae! Thanks for sharing it! :)

[@blessedtrimability9626]

The bread looks so delicious ! It is wonderful that it makes enough for two meals!

[@shellimoran3353]

Oh my goodness..you broke this down so well that I think I will try to make French bread myself!!! I have never made any bread ever but I’m going to try this! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher!! Also I love your kids..they are awesome too!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

You can absolutely do this, Shelli!!! I like to work alongside others, so you can turn on the video while you're making your bread and we can do it together! 😉

I just joined your channel... And one of the first videos I see is you making bread♥️I am so thankful for this simple recipe. I've been making homemade sourdough bread and sourdough baked goods.... But now.. We are just craving good white yeast bread. Thx so much! I can't wait to try this❤ I homeschooled all of our sons... And taught them how to cook.... it is so precious seeing you with your little daughter as she's learning to follow in your footsteps and to be a good cook. As well as, seeing your older daughter making meals for the family😊

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you so very much for joining us and for taking the time to leave a kind comment! Abigail is a joy to work with, so it's always a fun time when she's helping. I hope you and your family enjoy this bread immensely! :) Be sure to check back in and let me know how it goes!

Yummy. I love making bread. My husband likes to eat it right out of the oven. I like it cooled. Plus it slices better when it has cooled down. Im not really a bread eater but once in a while I dive in. Lol

[@bravochick]

That bread looks delicious, I bet it makes great French toast! Great video as always ❤

[@wandeemurray5601]

Thank you for walking us through that! You asked for content ideas and after watching a Day in the Life, I was wondering if we could see the milking process with Daisy? That might be a pain to film, but thought I'd ask. If this was already shown in a previous video I will search for it. Thank you in advance.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thanks for the idea, Wandee!! I'll definitely write that down on my list of future video possibilities. I've shown little snippets of milking daisy in previous Day in the Life (DITL) videos, but we haven't posted a video featuring the milking process yet. I wasn't sure if you all would enjoy watching that or if most would find it boring! 😃🐄🥛

[@eileenfleming7115]

Another great example of the products that come from the “Ozark Family Homestead” kitchen. By golly, what a joy it would be to sit at your table with the family and partake of the deliciousness! ♥️♥️

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh Eileen, I know it would be a joy to all sit together and enjoy a fine meal and each other's company! :)

[@lisaharrigan1370]

You may just be onto something! You said there is living space above the summer kitchen and I would bet there would be lots of people that would pay to stay for a few days. Lots of people love gardening, working outside and working with animals but just don't have the time to do it full time. Also, I bet there are lots of people that would like to start the homesteading lifestyle and would love to learn the ropes from a family like yours and of course all of this would provide you with not only money but a lot of YT content. It would be like a homesteading "dude ranch"! I know I would pay to come for a week just to experience another side of life that I would never normally experience in my life. Just some food for thought!

[@davidwestfall4121]

For golden brown finish to bread use an egg wash.

[@heatherreader9738]

I just made this French bread and it came out perfect. It tastes so good! I ended up taking it out of the oven before the 25 minutes because it was looking done. It's a keeper recipe for sure.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

(from Shawn) Since I'm down and can't work outside as normal, I'm responding to comments for Janice. Every oven is different, so glad you kept an eye on it. Everyone should adjust for their own oven. We certainly enjoy the bread and I know Janice is happy to share this with others.

Thanks! I know most people have a lovely window over their kitchen sink, but mine doesn't. It felt wrong just looking at a blank wall while doing dishes, so this was the best solution I could come up with! :)

It's extremely inspiring.... Mine is at an angle window to the left cupboards above dish washer on the right the catty corner sink with big voided space behind it is bugging me a lot I love the straight look... We deal with what we have ...

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Anna, I'm flattered to be a reminder of your grandmother! Once it's finished, I'm hopeful that our summer kitchen will be used similar to your family's outdoor kitchen. :)
