Servings: 2
Course: bread
Cuisine: French

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups warm water (110-115F)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 1/2- 5 cups  All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp instant dry yeast
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp Melted butter, optional

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast, water, salt, and 4 cups of flour. Knead on a slow speed until the flour has started to combine. Increase speed to medium and gradually add in the remaining flour until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut diagonal slashes on the top of each bread loaf. Brush loaves with egg wash.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with the melted butter. Enjoy!
