Cuisinart Bread Maker French Bread Recipe

If you have time, allow a second rise before shaping to develop more flavor in the bread, but it is very good without it, too.

While yeast is proofing, combine 5 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour and 1¼ cups of cake flour with the wheat germ and salt. Add the cold water and the flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Insert the dough hook and mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Combine remaining flours and reserve. Continuing on speed 2, add the remaining flour mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until a dough ball forms that clings to the dough hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Set the timer for 4 minutes and the speed to 3 to allow the dough to knead.

Dust dough ball lightly with flour and place in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, recover, and let rise again until doubled in size. (This last rise can be omitted if pressed for time, but makes for a more flavorful loaf, with a more artisanal bread texture and crust.) Punch dough down and divide into 3 pieces. Shape each into a long narrow loaf, about 14 to 16 inches in length, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.

Dust loaves generously with flour. Make 4 or 5 diagonal slashes in the top of each loaf about ¼-inch deep, using a serrated knife, razor or lame.

Cool on a wire rack.½ cup warm water 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 3 cups unbleached, all-purpose or bread flour 2 tablespoons wheat germ 1 cup cold water 1½ teaspoons sea or kosher salt cornmeal for dusting the pan

1. Place the yeast and warm water in the bowl of the Hand Stand Mixer with a pinch of the flour. Stir to dissolve yeast and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Mixture will foam and bubble – this means the yeast is alive and active. 2. Place the flour and wheat germ in a separate bowl and stir. Add the cold water, salt and ½ cup of the flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Insert the flat beaters. Using speed 1, mix until smooth, about 30 to 40 seconds. 3. Continue adding the flour mixture, ½ cup at a time, mixing completely – about 30 to 40 seconds – until no flour is visible after each addition. The dough at first will be a batter, and slowly as the flour is added the batter will become a complete ball of dough that cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. After all the flour mixture has been incorporated switch to the dough hooks. Mix on speed 3 for 2 to 3 minutes to knead the dough. 3. Dust dough ball lightly with flour and place in a resealable food storage bag, press out air and seal. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 4. Punch dough down and divide into 2 pieces. Shape each into a long narrow baguette and place on a baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 30 to 40 minutes. While baguettes rise, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat oven to 400° F. 5. Make 4 diagonal slashes in each loaf about ¼-inch deep using a serrated knife. Bake bread in preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes until browned and hollow sounding when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
