Ranch French Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Assemble all the ingredients, and grate the cheese. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping.
• 3. Mix the shredded chicken, cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, and ranch dressing mix.
• 4. Chop the onion and add to the mixture.
• 5. Spread the mixture evenly onto the bread.
• 6. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle reserved cheese on top, return to oven for an additional 5 minutes.
• 7. Serve immediately. Here is how it looks! Enjoy! Great with soup!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine 2 cups (8 oz.) cheese and 3/4 cup salad dressing with bacon; set aside. Cut 1 loaf (1 lb.) French bread in half lengthwise; brush with 2 Tbsp. melted butter. Broil 4 in. from heat on baking sheets until golden brown. Spread with cheese mixture. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with minced fresh parsley. Serves 8.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar and warm water and mix for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast. Add the salt and flour. With the mixer on low, mix until the dough starts to come together. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and crawls up to dough hook.
• Grease a mixing bowl with the oil. Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft free place until the dough doubles in size about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and invert it onto a heavily floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Pat each portion into a large rectangle, about 3/4-inch thick. Roll up the dough, beginning with the short side and stopping after each full turn to press the edge of the roll firmly into the flat sheet of dough to seal. Press with your fingertips. Tuck and roll so that any seams disappear into the dough.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet evenly with 2 tablespoons of the cornmeal. Place the loaves on the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a cloth and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, make diagonal slashes, about 1-inch apart, on the top of each loaf. With a pastry brush, brush the egg wash evenly over each loaf. Place a cup of hot water in an oven-proof container on the baking sheet with the loaves.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Slice to serve.

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; then add 1 teaspoon sugar; let stand for five minutes.
• Add the buttermilk, butter (or margarine), eggs, ranch dressing mix (or salad dressing), salt, 4 cups flour and remaining sugar; mix well until smooth.
• Stir in 4 or 5 more cups of flour until you have a soft dough.
• Knead the bread dough on a floured surface for about 6 or 7 minutes, then put it in a greased bowl, cover& let rise for about an hour; until doubled in size.
• On a floured surface, punch dough and divide into 4 equal sections.
• Shape each into a long"log" about 12 inches long but not too wide and flat, then slash the top of each loaf with a knife.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled; about 30 minutes.
• Bake in a 350 oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown; but do not bake more than 2 loaves at a time.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine butter, dressing mix and garlic powder; beat until combined. Spread over cut sides of bread. Place on a baking sheet. Broil 4-6-in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Slice bread almost whole way through being careful to still leave it connected at bottom of loaf.
• Put bread on a sheet of aluminun foil large enough to fold up around the loaf.
• Melt butter, add the remaining ingredients to the melted butter and mix.
• Spread this mix in the slices in the bread.
• I use a tablespoon and put one spoonful between each slice.
• There will be a little of the butter mix left, I usually pour this over the top of the bread.
• Wrap aluminun foil up around sides of loaf, leaving the top exposed.
• Cook for 10 minute on 350, this is just long enough to make the top and bottom crispy and warm the bread up.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut loaf in half horizontally. Blend butter and salad dressing mix, spread evenly on bread. Wrap bread in foil and bake at 350F for 10 to 15 minutes.
