Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups water
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3-1/2 cups bread flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp. cornmeal
Glaze
- 1 egg

Instructions
- In bread machine pan, place the first five ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tbsp. water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 10x8-in. rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with the long side; pinch to seal seams.

- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk egg and water; brush over loaves. With a sharp knife, make 4 shallow slashes across the loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

I love eating homemade bread – which mean I have to make it 🙂 Have a great weekend, Michelle!
I haven't made homemade bread in like forever. I also like to use my breadmaker in mixing and kneading it but I like baking it in the oven. I am looking forward to trying yours. Thank you for sharing at Freedom Fridays!
I never bake bread in my breadmaker either …. Maybe it's just me or my imagination, but I don't like the heavier texture – I always bake it in the oven! Stop by and let me know what you thought when you do make it 🙂
Okay, first icing and now bread. I think I love you, lol. Thanks for sharing at our party this week.
Hahaha 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I love French Bread! And, I so need to make a menu. Thank you for sharing on Thursday's Treasures Week 38. I hope to see you again very soon. <3 and hugs! http://www.recipesformyboys.com/2012/06/thursdays-treasures-week-38.html
Homemade is the best! I couldn't live without a menu – seriously, we would eat sandwiches or something every single day!
