Nothing like the smell of fresh bread to make an evening (or a morning or an afternoon for that matter).
2.5 cups warm water
2 Tbs yeast
2 Tbs sugar
2 tsp salt
6 cups flour
1/2 oil (I like to use olive oil, but any oil works)
Place yeast and sugar in a bowl and mix with warm water. Add the salt and oil, then add the flour 2 cups at a time, stirring to incorporate it well. Knead the bread together and let rise. Stir the bread down every 10 minutes for an hour. Form into 2 loaves and place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal or flour. Bake at 400 degrees for about 37 minutes. This dough can also be used to make regular rolls or cinnamon rolls.

so i'm glad to see a tried (and true0 french bread recipe here. i'll admit i've held off making french bread because of the risks. so i'm set now. i also found some sourdough flavor (all the goodness of sourdough with out the start). perhaps. it's worth a try, and this will be a good bread to use it in. grazie!
