      French Baguette

      You’ll be delighted with this easy, delicious version of the classic loaf. Use it for appetizers, with soups, or sliced for a simply delicious addition to any meal.

      Makes 3 18" loaves

      2 cups warm water (105–110°F)

      1 tablespoon granulated sugar

      3½ teaspoons active dry yeast (2 packages)

      4–5 cups bread flour

      1 tablespoon kosher salt

      ¼ cup cornmeal

      In a large bowl, combine water, sugar, and yeast. Stir to dissolve and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

      Add 1 cup flour and salt. Stir to combine. Add enough remaining flour to create a firm dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 8–10 minutes. Return to bowl, dust the top lightly with flour, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.

      Line a baking sheet with parchment; dust with cornmeal. Turn risen dough onto a floured surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Roll each piece into a tight rope, and taper the ends slightly. Place loaves on prepared pan, dust with flour, cover with plastic wrap, and rise another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.

      Using a serrated knife, make five or six angled slashes into the top of each loaf, about ½" deep. Place a pan of cold water at the bottom of the oven to create steam. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 15–20 minutes. Remove to a rack and cool completely before slicing.

      Honey White Bread

      This slightly sweet bread is perfect for making French toast, or try it next time you make bread pudding—it’s sure to comfort and satisfy you.

      Makes 1 loaf

      1¼ cups warm milk (105–110°F)

      3 tablespoons unsalted butter

      5 tablespoons honey

      1¾ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)

      3 cups bread flour

      ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

      1 teaspoon warm water

      In a large bowl, combine milk, butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and yeast. Stir to dissolve and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

      Add another 3 tablespoons honey and 1 cup flour. Stir to combine. Add salt and enough remaining flour to create a firm dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 8–10 minutes. Return to bowl, dust with flour, and cover loosely with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

      Coat a 9 × 5 loaf pan with pan spray, and line the bottom and short sides with a strip of parchment. Turn risen dough onto a floured surface and shape into an oblong loaf. Place into prepared pan; set aside to proof for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.

      Combine remaining tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of warm water, and brush gently over the surface of the risen dough. Bake until golden brown and hollow sounding, about 30–40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan, and cool completely on a rack.

      Classic Whole-Wheat Bread

      You’ll feel better about serving this bread to your family, rather than the preservative-filled versions found at the grocery store.

      Makes 1 loaf

      1 cup buttermilk

      1¾ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)

      4–5 cups whole-wheat flour

      ½ cup water

      2 tablespoons unsalted butter

      2 tablespoons honey

      ¾ teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt

      1 egg

      For the sponge: Combine buttermilk and yeast. Stir to dissolve and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup whole-wheat flour and beat for 1 minute. Cover and let stand at room temperature 8–12 hours.

      Add to the sponge the water, butter, honey, ¾ teaspoon salt, and enough of the remaining whole-wheat flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead 8–10 minutes. Add flour only to reduce stickiness. Return to bowl, dust with flour, cover with plastic, and rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

      Coat a 9 × 5 loaf pan with pan spray, and line its length with a strip of parchment. Turn risen dough onto a lightly floured work surface, and shape into a
