French Baguette Bread Recipe

French Baguette bread from Seduction in the Kitchen
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups flour
Instructions
- The first thing is put all the ingredients into the bread maker and set on the dough cycle.
- After the dough is done in the bread maker, take it out and with some oil on your hands divide the dough and shape it into 2 logs.
- Then take a knife and cut 4-5 slits on the top. After you do that sprinkle a little water. Not much just literally put your hand in water and “fling” it onto the bread. Then a small sprinkle of flour on the top the bread as well and let the bread rise on an oiled sheet for about 30 minutes.
- After it has raised for 30 minutes, it time to bake the bread. Take a small pan and fill it with at least 2 inches of water. Put in the oven and let the oven heat up at 400 degrees. I usually do this part as the bread is raising, that way when its time to bake it be in a nice hot moist oven. Bake it for about 25-30 minutes. Till nice and golden on top. Sometimes I will brush a little olive oil on the top of it before I bake, That is ok as well.
- Finally, when done, let it cool and enjoy some fresh bread right from your oven!
