FRENCH COUNTRY BREAD
A simple European-style country bread. Just enough whole wheat to give it some flavor but not so much that it's heavy. I use an overnight starter to give it extra flavor.

Steps:
- The night before baking the bread prepare this starter: In a medium sized non-metal mixing bowl dissolve 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water. Add 1 1/2 cup bread flour and mix well. Cover and let sit overnight at room temperature.
- The next day: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the 2 teaspoons yeast in the 2 cups warm water. Add the starter mixture, the whole wheat flour, 3 cups bread flour and the salt; stir until well combined. Add the remaining bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

FRENCH COUNTRY BREAD
I spent years messing around trying to come up with the ultimate French-style, crisp-crusted bread, and many times came within bragging distance. But with this recipe closely adapted from Paula Wolfert's Country-Style Bread in The Cooking of South-West France - I've found it! It is the simplest of breads: flour, water, salt, yeast. It's good, chewy, coarse, basic: more European than American in taste and texture. Made without fat, sugar or milk, it has a very crisp crust, made even crisper by an in-oven spritzing with water. Thanks to a starter made a day or two ahead of time, it has the faintest tang of sourness. The length of kneading time may seem daunting; so if you do not have a sturdy mixer, have a friend handy.....

Steps:
- One to two days before you plan on serving the bread, make the starter; in a medium-size bow. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it proof until foamy. Stir in the flour and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
- On bread-baking day; make the dough: Transfer the starter (don't worry if it has separated) to the large bowl. Add the lukewarm water and the fine sea salt and stir well to combine. Begin adding the flour one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure each cup is absorbed before you add the next. If the dough is tacky after all of the flour has been added, add an additional one or 2 tablespoons of flour.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. This will take 20 minutes by hand; if you have a mixer with dough hook, 8 to 10 minutes will do the trick. If you use a dough hook, do give the dough a few last turns by hand. You want a consistency that is smooth elastic and somewhat soft.
- Flour the inside of a large bowl and place the dough in it. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Punch down the dough, and knead it quickly - 15 or 20 turns - then return it to the bowl and let it rise until doubled in bulk a second time. The second rising is usually a little quicker, 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours. Punch down again, reflour the rising bowl, add the dough, and let rise a third time.
- As the bread is one its third rise, preheat the oven to 450 degrees and have at hand a plastic mister, such as you use for plants, filled with spring water. Place a baking sheet as close in size as possible to that of an oven rack on the middle rack. The sheet mimics an oven floor. Sprinkle a second, smaller baking sheet well with cornmeal.
- When the dough has risen the third time, invert it carefully out of the bowl onto the cornmeal-sprinkled sheet, and using a razor, slash the top with two or three Xs, 1/16 or 1/8 inch deep. Lower the oven heat to 400, spritz the interior of the oven 3 or 4 times with the mister and immediately slide the bread in, on its baking sheet, across the baking sheet already in the oven. Bake the bread 40 to 60 minutes, opening the oven and spritzing the inside once more, halfway through the baking. The bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when thumped on its bottom. Cool the bread on a wire rack.

Steps:
- To make the sponge, whisk the 1/2 teaspoon yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in the whole wheat flour until the mixture resembles a thick batter. Beat for about 100 strokes to form longs strands of gluten. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 8 hours (longer is better for flavor development). You can also let the poolish ripen in the refrigerator for 12 to 15 hours, bringing it back to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.
- When the poolish is ready, it will be bubbly and loose, with a yeasty, sour aroma. Scrape the poolish into a bowl and stir in the 2 1/2 cups water and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon yeast. Stir well to combine. Add the bread flour 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the dough becomes too difficult to stir.
- Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead for 10 to 12 minutes, adding more flour only when the dough becomes too sticky to handle. Sprinkle the salt over the dough and knead it for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The dough should have a smooth surface and spring back to the touch. Shape the dough into a round and cover with a damp cloth for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat the surface of the dough with oil. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 to 3 hours.
- Deflate the dough and cut it into two pieces. Shape the dough into two rounds, cover them with plastic or a damp cloth, and allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Shape the dough into baguettes. Place a heavily floured cloth on a baking sheet, arranging a fold down the center to separate the loaves. Place the loaves, seam-side up, on the floured cloth. Dust the tops of the loaves with flour, cover with a damp towel, and let rise until doubled in bulk again, about two hours.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal. Gently transfer the risen loaves to the baking sheet, placing them seam-side down on the cornmeal. Make several diagonal slashes in the loaf with a serrated knife or razor blade.
- Immediately place the scored loaves in the preheated oven. Bake the bread until the loaves are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the loaves on wire racks.

CRUSTY COUNTRY STYLE FRENCH BREAD
This recipe came with a Williams- Sonoma French Bread pan my In-Laws gave me for Christmas. (I have wonderful In-Laws :)) I have only tried this recipe in the specified pan and it is absolutely delicious! Crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The technique is a bit unusual compared to what I was used to, but it is well worth the effort. I don't know if it is the recipe, the technique, the pan, or a combination of all 3 that makes these loaves so tasty, but this is now my standard recipe. Just a note: This recipe prints out on 2 pages. Thought I'd mention it if you want to print 2 sided to save paper ;)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the yeast and stir gently to mix.
- Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 4 cups of the flour and the salt. Beat on low speed just until combined.
- Slowly add the yeast mixture and beat just until incorporated about 1 minute.
- Increase the speed to medium low to medium and beat for 10 minutes adding more flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. (I used speed 4 on my Artisan when I still had it and now use speed 2 with my P600).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute.
- Form into a ball and dust lightly with flour.
- Sprinkle a little flour into a bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. 45-60 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Punch down the dough and knead for a few seconds.
- Form the dough into a ball and return to the bowl again.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. 20- 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down.
- Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
- Let rest 5 minutes.
- Line a french bread pan with a clean kitchen towel (a large flour sack towel works well) and sprinkle with a little flour.
- Roll each ball into a log with tapered ends, about the length of the pan, and place on the towel in the pan. Cover with the overhanging edges of the towel and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- Position an oven rack in the lowest position of the oven, and place a baking pan 1/3 full of boiling water on the rack.
- Preheat oven to 425 F (220C).
- Gently lift the towel holding the loaves off of the pan, taking care not to let the loaves touch each other and set on a work surface.
- Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray and using the towel as a guide gently flip each loaf into a well in the pan.
- Brush off excess flour.
- Using a sharp knife, make 3-5 diagonal slashes in the loaves about 1/4 inch deep (6mm).
- Brush with the beaten egg white mixture.
- Bake on center rack until the bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 30-35 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool the loaves in the pan until room temperature.
COSTCO FOCACCIA BREAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Proof the yeast: Pour warm water into a measuring cup and stir in 1 teaspoon of honey. Stir in 1 packet of yeast and let it proof for 5-7 minutes, or until it foams.
- Make the Dough: Whisk together 3 3/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large mixing bowl. Add your yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until there is no dry flour left and a sticky dough mass forms. Then add 1 Tbsp olive oil and work the oil into the dough using your hands until everything is absorbed. Put plastic wrap over the bowl and allow it to rest for 30 minutes until visibly puffed.
- Make the Topping: Add 2 tablespoons oil to 2 tablespoons water, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped rosemary, and 1/2 tsp salt to a small bowl. Whisk well to combine and set aside.
- Develop Gluten: Once the dough has rested, use the stretch and fold method to develop gluten strands (watch the video for a demonstration). Pour water on your hands to avoid sticking, and stretch and fold the dough four times: Lift one corner of the dough gently without tearing it, and fold the dough over onto itself. Turn the bowl, and repeat the process three more times. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then repeat the stretches and folds three more times, letting it rest covered for 30 minutes each time. Transfer to an oiled baking pan immediately after the final stretch and fold.
- Mold to the Pan: Prepare a NON-STICK 9*13 baking pan by coating the bottom with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Transfer the dough to the oiled pan and turn to coat. Gently stretch the dough to the edges. If the dough is difficult to stretch, cover it and let it rest for 15 minutes before working on the edges. Cover and let it rise for 45-60 minutes until well risen and puffy.
- Create Dimples: Poke the focaccia with your fingertips, almost going through the dough, after drenching your hands in cold water. You should make a quick motion, like pushing keys on the piano. To get a generous amount of dimples, go over the dough a couple of times. Gently lift the dough at the edge to release any air bubbles trapped under it.
- Add Toppings and Bake: If the topping has separated, whisk it and drizzle it evenly over the top. Over the top of the bread, sprinkle kosher salt or flaky sea salt, and bake at 450F for 22-25 minutes until golden brown (we prefer 25 minutes for a crisp edge). Remove immediately to a wire rack to cool so the base doesn't steam soften. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve as squares or slice lengthwise for sandwiches.

- To make the starter: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Stir all of the starter ingredients together to make a thick, pudding-like mixture.
- To make the dough: Stir down the starter with a spoon and add the water, yeast, sugar, 3 1/4 cups (390g) of the flour, and the salt. The dough will be a loose, messy mass.
- Knead the dough, adding up to an additional 3/4 cup (90g) flour (as necessary to make a soft dough), 10 to 12 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or plastic container, cover with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let it rise until almost doubled (depending on the weather, this could be 1 to 2 hours).
- Deflate the dough gently, but don't knock out all the air; this will create those "holes" so important to French bread. For one large loaf, form the dough into a round ball; for two loaves, divide the dough in half and shape into two balls.
- Place a semolina- or cornmeal-dusted piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Gently place the ball(s) of dough on the baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Cover the bread gently with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let it rise until it's puffy and about 40% to 50% larger, anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes.
- Slash or cross-hatch the bread with a sharp knife or lame. Dust it with a little flour. Spritz water into the oven with a clean plant mister, and place the bread in the oven.
- Bake the bread for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until it's a rich golden brown, and its interior temperature registers at least 190°F on a digital thermometer.
