French Bread

I got this recipe from my sister in law Kassi. It is really delicious and only has to rise once. We made the dough into rounds and then sprinkled on parmesan cheese as an added bonus. Scrumptious!

FRENCH BREAD

3 Tablespoon yeast
4 cups warm water
4 Tablespoon sugar
½ cup vegetable oil (can use ¼ cup)
5 tsp. salt
8-10 cups flour

Knead all ingredients together in electric bread mixer for about 5 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes. Divide into four loaves and put on greased or cornmeal sprinkled baking sheet. Make diagonal knife slices on top. Brush tops with 1 beaten egg mixed with 1 Tablespoon water. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes and then at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Can make into hamburger buns or round loaves. Makes about 6 round loaves.
