Bread
(Baguette)
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups warm water
11/2 tbsp. olive oil
11/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
2 tsp. yeast
Directions:
Put the warm water into the bread pan. Ensure the kneading
paddle is in place. Add the olive oil, salt, and sugar. Add the
flour, covering the liquid. Make a small indentation on top of
the center of the flour, but not deep enough to reach the liquid.
Add the yeast to this indentation. Adding the ingredients in
this order is important because it keeps the yeast away from
the liquid ingredients until it is time to knead them together
(liquid ingredients will prematurely activate the yeast).
Insert the bread pan into the bread maker and select setting #4
(French) and push start.
When it’s done remove the bread pan and take out the baguette.
Let it cool for 10 minutes and then slice with a sharp bread knife.
Slather it with softened or whipped butter, dip it into soup, or use
it to make bruschetta.
