Looking for French Bread Recipe - Not French Baguette

I am trying to find a french bread recipe similar to the style found in many grocery stores... air pockets, soft inside, crusty outside.  I have attempted to make french bread, but it always is the french baguette type.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  <Thank You>

Filed under:

Do batards instead of baguettes

I've made this recipe often, dividing the dough and shaping it into a couple of batards.  

It's easy and produces some very nice results.

 

French country bread

Try the recipe of Pain de Campagne attached. I replaced fresh yeast with instant yeast (at 50% of the weight)

Good luck!

Thank you for the responses!

Thank you.
