To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook easy french bread using 10 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Easy French Bread:

1. Prepare dough
2. Get rapid-rise yeast
3. Take warm water (105 to 115°F)
4. Take honey or agave syrup
5. Make ready salt
6. Make ready all-purpose or bread flour
7. Get cornmeal
8. Make ready cold water
9. Prepare egg white
10. Make ready cold water

Steps to make Easy French Bread:

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water with the honey or agave syrup in a 2-1/2 quart bowl. Let proof 10 minutes or until nice and foamy. I use my Kitchen-Aid mixer, but you can also do all of this by hand. (I use the dough hook with my mixer, and let it work the dough for five minutes.) Stir in 2 cups of flour and salt. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle (dough will be soft).
2. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about five minutes. Place in greased 2-1/2 quart bowl, turning greased side up. Cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature until slightly more than double, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. To put in a draft free area, I usually just place the bowl in a cold oven. Longer rising gives better texture, and typical French bread bite.
3. Punch down dough; cover and let rest 15 minutes. Grease cookie sheet; sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Divide dough in half. Place on large cutting board or surface and pat and stretch each half into a 15 x 10* rectangle. Starting on the 15* side, roll up tightly. Pinch edge of dough into the roll to seal. Roll gently back and forth to taper ends. Place both loaves on cookie sheet. Using a sharp knife, make 1/4-inch deep slashes across loaves at 2-inch intervals, or 1 lengthwise on each loaf. Brush with cold water and let rise uncovered until slightly more than double, about 1-1/2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour one cup of hot water into a rectangular pan and place pan on lowest oven rack. Brush or spray loaves with cold water. Place cookie sheet with loaves onto higher oven rack. Bake 20 minutes. Remove pan of water from oven. Mix egg white and 2 tablespoons of cold water; brush over loaves. Return loaves to oven and bake until golden and they sound hollow when tapped, between 20-30 minutes longer. Makes 2 loaves (12 slices each); 55 calories each.
5. Ready to serve and ENJOY!
