French bread is so fancy. In my mind, I always thought it was difficult to make. I was looking for an amazing french bread recipe, when the SIL of one of my GF's sent me this. I'm in LOVE!!!! Thanks Cammi! :)
Ingredients
1 cup water
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons corn meal
Directions
1. Place 1 cup water, bread flour, sugar, salt, oil and yeast into bread machine pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough cycle, and press Start. (My machine allows the dough to rise once. If yours doesn’t, turn dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about an hour).
2. Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 16×12 inch rectangle. Cut dough in half, creating two 8×12 inch rectangles. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12 inch side, pounding out any air bubbles as you go. Roll gently back and forth to taper end. Place 3 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet, sprinkled with cornmeal. Make deep diagonal slashes across loaves every 2 inches, or make one lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix egg white with 1 tablespoon water; brush over tops of loaves.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
