Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups warm water (95 to 110 F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups bread flour (approximately)
Optional: 1 large egg white (lightly beaten)
Optional: sesame seeds (or poppy seeds)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved.
  • Mix in the bread flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough is formed.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it for about 8 minutes.
  • Put the dough in a greased bowl and flip the dough over so that all of the dough is lightly greased, including the dough top . Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until double in size.
  • Punch down the dough .
  • Give the dough a quick 2-minute knead.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal halves. Shape each half into a long loaf.
  • Place the loaves on a lightly greased baking sheet. Make about 5 diagonal slits, 3/4 inch deep, into the top of each loaf.
  • Cover loaves with a clean towel or greased plastic wrap and let them rise for 45 minutes or until double in size. Heat the oven to 400 F.
  • If you'd like, brush the loaves with the beaten egg white for a shiny crust, and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 400 F for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the loaves from the oven and use a mister or spray bottle to lightly spray the tops of the loaves with cold water. Turn the oven down to 350 F and bake the loaves for another 25 minutes or until done.
  • Remove the loaves from the baking sheet and let them cool on a rack.

FRENCH BREAD

A crisp, crunchy crust and slightly chewy center make this bread as traditional as the breads served in France.

Provided by Jenn Hall

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Stir in 2 cups warm water, and beat until well blended using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes total. Shape into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn once. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
  • Punch dough down, and divide in half. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each half into large rectangle. Roll up, starting from a long side. Moisten edge with water and seal. Taper ends.
  • Grease a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Place loaves, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush on. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until nearly doubled, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • With a very sharp knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across top of each loaf. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes. Brush again with egg white mixture. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until bread tests done. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent over browning. Remove from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack.

FRENCH COUNTRY BREAD



French Country Bread image

A simple European-style country bread. Just enough whole wheat to give it some flavor but not so much that it's heavy. I use an overnight starter to give it extra flavor.

Provided by Stephen Carroll

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time P1DT2h40m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ teaspoon active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 ½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 ½ cups bread flour, divided
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • The night before baking the bread prepare this starter: In a medium sized non-metal mixing bowl dissolve 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water. Add 1 1/2 cup bread flour and mix well. Cover and let sit overnight at room temperature.
  • The next day: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the 2 teaspoons yeast in the 2 cups warm water. Add the starter mixture, the whole wheat flour, 3 cups bread flour and the salt; stir until well combined. Add the remaining bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
