Homemade French Bread

 

Ingredients: 

Directions:

  1. Proof your yeast with 1 & 1/4 cup water, 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 & 1/2 teaspoon yeast.
  2. In a kitchen aid (or bowl) measure out 3 cups of flour and add the salt. Pour in the activated yeast & water into the bowl or kitchen aid. Stir to mix.
  3. If in the kitchen aid mix using the dough hook for 5 minutes, if using a bowl. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Set your timer for 1 hour and allow it to rise.
  5. Plop the risen dough onto a lightly floured counter and divide into half. I love using my dough scraper
  6. Using your hands press each half into about a 10″ x 8″ rectangle.
  7. Roll up each rectangle starting with a long side.
  8. Place the loaves onto a greased baking sheet with the seam side DOWN.
  9. Allow to rise for approx 1 hour or until doubled.
  10. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees F and melt your butter. Using a pastry brush, brush the dough with half of the butter and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  11. Using a pastry brush, brush on the remaining butter after you pull it out of the oven.

Enjoy!
