Easy French Bread using the breadmaker to mix and the oven to bake. The bread machine is a great invention, but I find the bread tastes better when it bakes in the oven. Prepare at least 3 hours before serving. To make a regular sized loaf, change the number of servings to 1/2 a loaf.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water
4 cups flour, preferably white bread flour
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, fast rising or 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast, active dry
Directions:
1. Place ingredients in bread machine as shown. Set for dough.
2. Form into loaf on floured board - do NOT punch down.
3. Placed on greased cookie sheet and allow to rise 1 hour.
4. Bake 30-35 minutes in PREHEATED oven at 350 degrees F.
