This is my favorite bread. I always have a hard time finding French bread in my grocery store so I am happy to have found this one a long time ago in Taste of Home. Preparation time does not include rising time.

Steps:
- In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water.
- Add sugar, salt, shortening and remaining water; stir until dissolved.
- Add flour and stir until smooth (do not knead). Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Turn on to a floured surface. Divide in half; let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll each half into 10-inch by 8-inch rectangle. Roll up from a long side; pinch to seal.
- Place seam side down on greased baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle the tops with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- With a very sharp knife, make five diagonal cuts across the top of each loaf. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

a.adebowale@yahoo.comI'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was still edible, but it wasn't as crusty as I wanted it to be.
