French Baguettes

[michiganmom116]

for 2 loaves:

• 1 c. water
• 2 1/2 c. bread flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

Place dough ingredients in pan in order listed.  Use the dough setting and press start.  When setting is complete, remove dough from bread pan.  Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to coat evenly.  Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place 30 minutes or until doubled in size.  Punch dough down and turn out onto lightly floured surface.

Roll dough into 12 x 16 inch rectangles.  Divide dough into 2 12 x 8 inch pieces.  Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style, starting at the 12 inch side.  Shape into 12 inch long loaves.  Place 3 inches apart on greased baking sheet.  With a sharp knife, make 3 to 4 diagonal slashes across each loaf top.  cover and let rise in warm, draft-free plce, 30 to 40 minutes.  Brush tops with an egg wash of 1 egg yolk and 1 Tbsp. water whisked together.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
