Place the flour and salt in a food processor, and pulse 2 times or until blended. With the food processor on, slowly add yeast mixture through food chute, and process until the dough forms a ball. Process 1 additional minute. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover dough, and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and shape into a 6-inch round loaf. Place loaf on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover dough and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Uncover dough, and make 3 diagonal cuts 1/4-inch deep across top of loaf using a sharp knife. Combine 1 T water and egg white, and brush mixture over top of loaf. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. NOTES : This bread is best when eaten the same day it is baked. If you have any left over, do as the French do: Use it to make French toast or a bread pudding. To make a baguette, let the bread dough rise once. Punch dough down, and roll into an 18x9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Roll up the dough, starting at the longer edge, pressing down firmly to eliminate any air pockets; then pinch seam and edges to seal. Cover the dough, let rise, and bake according to recipe instructions above. Recipe by: Cooking Light, J/F 98, pg. 129 Posted to recipelu-digest by Jill & Joe Proehl
