I found this when I was in middle school in an old South Dakota cookbook. I like to knead in different ingredients according to what I'm cooking it to eat with (like different shreaded cheeses or spices). You can make these into small loaves and pull out the middle for a tasty bread bowl. Here's the original recipe and you can all use your imaginations! Ingredients:
french bread |
1 cup warm water |
1 package yeast |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons melted shortening |
3 3/4 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients well, knead dough until is elastic.
2. Let rise, punch down, let rise again.
3. Punch down and form in a long loaf.
4. Roll gently back and forth to length and taper ends.
5. Place on greased or floured cookie sheet.
6. Sprinkle with corn meal (or other herbs or cheeses), make slashes crosswise at 2 inch intervals.
7. Brush with cold water.
8. Let rise.
9. Brush again with water.
10. Sprinkle sesame seeds (or other herbs or cheeses) and bake at 375 F for 30 minutes.
