LOL We are aware babies have bottoms!

I sued to work for a British publisher of children's book. We couldn't use any illustrations of children that were "too naked" or else the American market would find it offensive. That's why I asked 🙂
Pretty funny considering we have (drawn) images of bears prancing around wiping their arses with toilet paper on television to advertise some brand of paper. I actually think we were not so prudish some 70 years back, what with post cards of naked cupids flying around shooting arrows for Valentine's Day. Now everything must be so politically correct, but it's okay for teen girls to run around half naked. It's a crazy world.

Excuse me it does not look like a baby's bottom! Where the heck is the crack? Have you even seen the possibilities that occur on baby's bottoms? That loaf rising looks nothing like a baby's bottom! 🙂
It does too! Not that I have ever studied babies' bottoms too well. Don't know any babies. But the dough looks so nice and soft and smooth.
Oh I got it! Having had kids I didn't get quite the connection - diaper days and all that 😉 Yes the dough comes out really nice. The breadmaker set to dough setting does a great job 🙂

Very very beautiful! It came out well, a part the shape. french bread is generally called "Baguette", and it is long shaped like this http://www.stonehousebread.com/products/baguette.jpg BTw, It seams that your bread has the right consistence.

>>>French Bread >>>This is a basic French bread ...

You have told that you have made this bread with the "bread machine". I have a bread machine too, but I have never tried to do french bread, I must try. Yesterday arrived to me a book I have bought on Web. The title is "365 ricette per la macchina del pane" (translation= 365 recipes for the bread-machine". I have tried to do the corn bread. I like it very much. But I have noticed that in the recipes of corn bread, the percentage of corn flour is very few indeed". This beacause corn flour can't rise and you have to mix it with a strong flour. Now, the question is this: have you got a recipe of corn bread (with an high percentage of corn flour) to do with the bread machine? TIA Pandora

Pandora, my *breadmachine* corn bread recipe calls for 2 c white flour and 1/3 cornmeal for a regular size loaf. IMO this recipe will not give you the true texture of a good corn bread. I have another corn bread recipe that is a 1:1 ratio of corn meal to whole wheat flour but it is a quick bread - just mix as muffins and bake. What I would do is use the regular corn bread recipe and forego the breadmaker for this type of bread. I use my breadmaker for yeast breads and doughs.
