The difference between "normal" bread and farmers bread is that the last one is cooked without steam and with flour on the top of the crust. But I don't know if u can do that in a bread maker.
Hope it helps.

Megan: I would think "bread Flour" would be best for breads.

Old Mac: So then how can you make farmers bread in a bread maker? Or am I asking the impossible??

christina that might well be....as you do a search on the net for farmers bread youll end up getting 100's of results.

however saying farmers bread becomes farmers bread because we steam bake it and put flour on the top, doesnt make sense at all. if your parents are bakers, better check with them first!

besides country yes.......but planet was round out rude!

Just for my general education?

I do know that the best bread is the French one. (I'm not french but "Rendons a Cesar ce qui appartient a Cesar").
Always an event to get fresh french bread from the bakery. We'll enjoy that in a few weeks again!

Now the Question: Can you explain what you mean by "steamed" baking bread making?
Serious here, Christina.

waterslang , adding steam to an oven while baking things is not uncommon at all....think about a choux pastry, you also bake under injection of steam to make em puff up nicer.

BTW i think Belgium has the best bread, folowed by germany and then France

Ok, thanks Mac,
am not that into baking bread anyway, but understand bit better now. Always thought the best bread was the one baked in those ovens (a bit like pizza ovens).... and on stone.
Regarding the best... then guess it depends on the bakery. Had excellent bread in Belgium from my bakery, but when I had to change because they were on a month's holiday, I tell you: it sucked. You know: that soft, watery stuff that is in deep need of a bit of viagra to keep it up. Like P&S here...
Personally love most of the Frenchie small bakeries.

I make a sort of farmers loaf in a bread maker - just get it to the proven dough form in the breadmaker, then take it out- sprinkle with flour and then bake it in the oven - 190 degres for 20 - 25 minutes. Take it out and let it cool a bit if you want. Just before you want to serve it, spray it with water - just to dampen it and then put it in a 200 oven for about five minutes. Eat immediately or it will go soft in very humid Hong Kong. It just use any "strong" flour - fling a bit of olive oil into the dough mix. Works quite well.
