I have used dozens of french bread recipes and loved them all.  Some recipes take more than a day to make, others are a little more complicated.  Then I found this recipe and fell in love with it's name, French Peasant Bread.  Not only is it yummy, it is way EASY to make.  With five kids, I want easy easy easy.
