Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb LOAF-----
  • 1 c. Water
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt (I used 3/4 tsp)
  • 3 c. Bread flour
  • 2 tsp Yeast Cornmeal

Directions

  1. Slightly adapted for my use from Bread Machine Magic*** Place all ingredients except cornmeal in breadpan. Select dough setting and start. At beep, turn dough onto a floured countertop or possibly cutting board. (I spray an acrylic board with Pam and skip the flour). Shape the dough into 12" oblong loaf, 1 large round loaf, 2 18-inch baguettes, or possibly 8 french rolls.
  2. Dust the top with a little flour; rub it in. Place on a cookie sheet dusted with cornmeal. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a hot over 30 to 45 min of till doubled. To hot oven slightly, turn on hot setting for two min then turn it of
  3. Place a pan of warm water on the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 450 . Immediately before placing bread in oven, slash tops with a very sharp knife (I use a serratted knife) about 1/2" deep.
  4. Bake round or possibly oblong loaves 20 minues, baguettes about 15 min, french rolls bake 10 to 12 min. Remove from oven and cold on a wire rack.
  5. This is best served within hrs of baking. To preserve crisp crust, don't store in plastic wrap or possibly bags.
