This is a super easy recipe for either French or Italian bread and it freezes very well. We normally double it so that we don't have to make it too often.
3½ t. yeast
2 cups hot water
1½ t. salt
2 cups white flour
3½ cups soft white flour
1 T. Italian seasoning (omit if making French bread)
2 T. honey
2½ T. oil
Mix all ingredients in large bowl and knead for 8 minutes (we use our bread machine so we don't have to hand-knead.) Let rise until doubled. Shape into oblong loaves and let rise. Slit loaves with a dough knife right before baking. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.
Yield: 2 loaves
Enjoy!
