  2. Begin mixing, continue adding the rest of the flour until it cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead at the point for six more minutes to let the dough develop the gluten.
  3. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece out into a oval shape. Roll from each side to the center and crimp the dough to stay together. Place on or in French bread pan or jelly roll pan. Brush with egg if desired and let rise until double. Just before baking cut slits in tip of dough with knife. Place bread in preheated oven. Then drop the temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 20 -25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 210 degrees
  4. Using an instant read Thermometer is a easy way to check the temp of the bread. When bread is almost done insert thermometer into bread and when temp reaches 210 degrees French bread is done. 180 degrees is for normal breads.
