Basic Machine French Bread

Ingredients

1-1⁄2 cups water, at about 105 degrees
4 cups flour (a flour with at 4 grams protein per serving is best)
1-1⁄2teaspoons salt (I use kosher)
2-1⁄2teaspoons dry yeast

Directions

1. Add to the bread pan in the order yours needs.
2. For mine it is water first.
3. Then I add half the flour and the salt followed by the rest of the flour and the yeast on top.
4. This will run well on the normal, rapid, and delay start cycles.
