The
go to French bread recipe
This
recipe makes 2 loafs, its great served with my home made Bruschetta!
The smell that wafts through the house is amazing!!
Also
can be modified to make rolls, pizza, bread sticks, and soooo much
more!
2
cups warm water 1
tablespoon yeast 1
tablespoon vegetable oil 1
tablespoon sugar 2
teaspoons salt 5
-5 1/2 cups bread flour
Directions:
I make all of this
in my kitchen Aid Mixer with the bread hook attachment
Add yeast
and sugar to warm water in the mixing bowl
let
the yeast proof for about 10 minutes add
salt, oil, and 3 cups flour; beat for 2 minutes stir
in 2 cups flour to make a stiff dough mix until
smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes
touch
the dough and if its to sticky add a tad bit more flower until its
smooth
(if you feel the need to add something to the dough now is the time. Don't go overboard but you can add things like - Parmesan, Garlic, Olives, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Basil etc) cover
the dough with a kitchen towel in the same bowl you mixed it in and
let rise until doubled Punch
down and divide in half shape
dough into two long slender loaves and place in oiled loaf pan (if
you don't have a french loaf pan you can put them on a lightly oiled
cookie sheet) cover
and let rise until doubled
Bake
at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when
you knock on it
Note:
If you put a dish full of water on the lower rack when baking it
makes the crust really crispy
