French bread

Another recipe from Laura in the Caribbean. So even though I haven't tried it yet, I know it must be a winner.

French Bread
Laura P.

2 1/2 C. warm water
2 T. yeast
2 teaspoons sugar

soften in Bosch on 1 for 2 minutes
add 1 T. salt
1 T. crisco
6-7 C. flour

Put on level 2 and knead and set timer. this dough will be stiffer than your regular wheat bread recipe

After it urns off, let rest 10 min. Place in greased bowl and rise til doubled. Punch down. Form into 2 logs, slice 3 slashes across tops of loaves with a very sharp knife. Let rise til doubled.

Bake at 425 about 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

I slice it when warm, add butter and garlic salt and put back in the oven for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!
