"OLD RELIABLE" FRENCH BREAD (FOR KITCHEN AID MIXERS)



This recipe came with my Kitchen Aid mixer, and makes two absolutely beautiful loaves of French Bread. I misplaced my recipe book and recently found it again, so am adding this recipe to Zaar for safe-keeping! Make sure you use a very, very sharp knife to make the diagonal slashes. This bread is delicious on its own, for sopping up stew or soup broth, and with your favorite cheeses or toppings. Prep time specified includes rising time.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups warm water, divided (110 degrees F)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (or use two .25-ounce packages yeast)
1 teaspoon sugar
5 1/2-6 1/2 cups bread flour (more if needed)
3 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons sugar
5 tablespoons vegetable oil (or use Canola oil, DO NOT substitute butter or shortening for the oil it will affect the texture)

Steps:

  • Attach the dough hook to heavy duty stand mixer.
  • In a small cup or bowl mix 1 teaspoon sugar into 1 cup warm water until combined.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast and mix gently.
  • Cover the cup and allow to proof until foamy (about 8 minutes, if the yeast does not foam discard and make again).
  • Place 5-1/2 cups flour in the stainless steel mixing bowl along with the salt, sugar and 5 tablespoons oil.
  • After the yeast has proofed add to the bowl along with remaining 1 cup warm water.
  • Start kneading process adding in more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough (kneading should take about 8 minutes).
  • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface; cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 3 minutes (this is important, allow to sit for 3 minutes).
  • Oil a large deep bowl.
  • Gather up the dough and gently knead into a ball (the dough will come together easily after resting).
  • Place the dough into the bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough and remove to a lightly floured surface.
  • Divide the dough evenly in half.
  • Cover both pieces of dough and allow to rest for 5 minutes (this will make shaping the dough easier).
  • Roll each dough into about a 9 x 12-inch rectangle, then roll up jelly-roll fashion starting at long edge.
  • Seal edges and seam of each loaf.
  • Grease a large jelly-roll pan then sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons cornmeal.
  • Place the two long shaped loaves onto the pan seam-side down spacing apart.
  • Using a razor blade or a small sharp knife slash each loaf 3 times diagonally.
  • In a small cup whisk an egg white then brush over each loaf.
  • Sprinkle the tops with about 2 teaspoons seasme seeds for each loaf.
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Make sure to measure and prepare all your ingredients before starting. This will help ensure a smooth and successful baking process.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your bread. Use high-quality flour, yeast, and other ingredients for the best results.
  • Proper Kneading: Kneading the dough properly is essential for developing the gluten and creating a strong and elastic dough. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Proofing: Allow the dough to proof in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will help the yeast to activate and produce gases that will give the bread its light and airy texture.
  • Baking Temperature: Bake the bread at a high temperature (450°F) for the first 10 minutes. This will create a crispy crust and help the bread to rise quickly. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and continue baking until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

With careful attention to detail and a bit of practice, you can easily make delicious French bread at home using your KitchenAid stand mixer. By following the tips and instructions provided in the recipes, you can create a variety of French bread loaves that are perfect for any occasion.
