I’m one of those lucky people that own a bread making machine! My sister bought it from Paris a few years ago, my Mum used it a few times then it just sat in the kitchen sad and alone… Until I rediscovered it again! It is actually an amazing machine that is extremely easy to use, all you have do is add the ingredients, wait for 2-3 hours, and BAM you have a homemade, delicious, healthy, fresh loaf of bread made with high-quality ingredients.

Very tasty! I was craving a savory, homemade bread, and this recipe was just the ticket! I used fresh thyme, and the flavor really “popped.” I used my InstantPot to let the dough rise, and that worked great. The recipe was fun to make. I will likely prepare this bread again. Thanks!

I’ve never used my Instapot in that way, how smart! I’m so glad you enjoyed the bread recipe, Elizabeth.

How much flour is supposed to be used? It just says “470 all purpose flour”. Are they grams? I need to convert to US measurements and I want to make sure I have it correctly. I think it would mean 2 cups flour?
Steve says
Sensational recipe. Really impressive taste. And yes to Janine, the flour is 470g. I used it to the gram, and it came out perfect.
