French Bread


This is an easy recipe. It doesn't require kneading & is done in about 1 1/2 hrs, including baking. Yum!

2 T. yeast
2 1/2 c. warm water
In large mixer bowl, add yeast to water & let it dissolve without stirring.
2 T. sugar
1 T. salt
2 T. oil
6 c. flour
sesame seeds, optional

Add sugar, salt & oil. Mix in flour & stir every 10 minutes for 1 hr. Knead on floured surface 3 or 4 times, just so it isn't sticky. Divide dough in half. Roll out & then shape into loaves & place on greased cookie sheet. Brush the tops with milk, then slit the tops. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.
