French Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in water.

  2. Add the remaining ingredients and knead for 5 minutes by hand until you make a soft dough. You may need to dust a little more flour until the dough comes together without sticking to your hands.

  3. Allow dough to rise until doubled (about 1 hour).

  4. Divide into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small rectangle (11"x5"). Roll up jellyroll-style pinching down the seams.

  5. Place loaves seam down onto a lined cookie sheet, 2-inches apart. Now is the time to score and make 3-4 diagonal slashes. Let rise until doubled.

  6. Bake in a pre-heated 350°F for softer crust or 425°F for a deep golden crust for 25-30 minutes on the middle rack. Bread is done when the internal temp reads 190°F.
