Title: Jill St. John's French Bread
Categories: Breads, French, Celebrity
Yield: 2 Loaves
1 1/2 Env active dry yeast
2 tb Sugar
1 1/2 c Very warm water
3 1/2 c All-purpose flour (more if
- desired
2 ts Salt
Soften yeast with 1 tsp. sugar in 1/2 cup very warm
water. ("Very warm" warm feels comfortably warm when
run over wrist.) Let yeast-water mixture stand 54 min,
or until doubled in bulk and foamy. In food processor,
with motor running, add flour, salt, remaining 1 tsp.
sugar and yeast mixture.
Blend and slowly add very warm water up to 1 cup, or
until dough forms a smooth ball. Turn out dough on a
lightly floured board or countertop. Knead only a
couple of turns; divide in two and shape into loaves.
Place in greased baguette pans. Cover with plastic
wrap; let rise in warm place away from drafts 45 min,
or until bulk doubles.
Bake in a 450-|F/232-|C oven 15 minutes, with shallow
pan of water in bottom of the oven. Bread is done when
hitting it with a knife gives a hollow ring.
NOTE: Jill Cautions, "Most of the kneading is done in
the food processor; therefore, knead only a couple of
turns as directed."
