Easy Homemade French Bread Recipe

Place all ingredients in your mixers mixing bowl.

Thoroughly knead on speed 3 (4-6 minutes)

Let rise in bowl 10 minutes, punch down 4 to 5 times.

Divide dough into 3-4 regular loaf pans.(I used 2 large pans and 3 small pans)

Slash tops with sharp knife and brush with egg wash.

Let rise doubled in size(this took about 15 min.)

Bake 30 minutes at 400*.

We ate an entire loaf for dinner..I gave the three small ones to friends at my sons baseball game.

Enjoy..this is the best french bread I have ever had!!
