Ingredients
1 1/2 c. water1 1/2 tbsp olive oil1 tsp salt3 c. bread flour ( I have used regular flour and half white half wheat before)1 /12 tsp yeast
1. Place all ingredients in the bread pan. Select Medium or Dark Crust setting, the French Bread cycle, and press Start.
2. Observe the dough as it kneads. After 8 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 2 tbps at a time until dough forms a smooth, soft, plaible ball that is slightly tacky to the touch.
3. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread pan using a hot pad. Invert on a cake rack to remove bread and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.
*I use a ziploc bag to store the bread using a paper towel but it will moisten if put in the bag before cooling.
Number of Servings: 14
