Fabuleux Cursty French Bread
1 1/2 c warm water
4 c flour
1 1/2 t salt
2 1/2 t yeast
I freeze my yeast because we buy in bulk.
If yeast is frozen, measure it on a plate to rise to room temp before you begin.
A packet of yeast is 2 1/4t , it works fine, don't open up another pack for that extra bit.
I use a bread machine for the kneading, and then the rest is done by hand.
Place water in your bread machine basket first.
Then half of the flour (I use Whole wheat pastry, but for the true french loaf, use as much white as you can!).
Next sprinkle salt over the flour. Add the rest of the flour.
Sprinkle yeast last, on top of that.
Set to basic/specialty and medium.
After the first rise, take it out with oiled hands and turn onto floured surface.
Oil sheet pan and sprinkle corn meal over it .
Shape into two long tapered end loaves on a prepared sheet.
Snip three 1/4" slits across each loaf. Let rise for 15 minutes.
Brush a little oil over the top or melted butter
I brushed a little milk over the top. Traditionally I think they use egg.
Bake 375F 20 min until lightly brown on top.
Makes: 2 loaves, Prep: 2 hours, Bake: 35 min
