This recipe produces two crusty and chewy loaves that are so very good and so much better than store bought.

Ingredients

2 CUP warm water1 TEASPOON sugar1 TEASPOON salt1 CUP bread flour

Procedure

Dissolve yeast in warm water (110 degrees) and sugar in large bowl; allow yeast to proof or foam (about 10 minutes).
Add salt, oil, and 3 flour; beat for 2 minutes.
Stir in 2 flour to make a stiff dough.
Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Place in oiled bowl, turn dough to coat all sides, cover and let rise until doubled.
Punch down and divide in half.
Shape dough into two long slender loaves.
Grease and sprinkle with cornmeal either a french bread pan or large cookie sheet.
Place loaves in pan and cut diagonal gashes on top of each loaf (I use scissors).
Cover and let rise until doubled.
