1 1/3 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp shortening
3 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
1. Measure ingredients into the baking
pan ( the manufacturer may recommend the
order ). Insert the pan into the oven
chamber and select the Dough Cycle.
2. Remove and place the dough on a lightly
floured surface. Cover it with a large
bowel and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Divide the dough in half ( if the
dough is sticky at this stage, flour your
hands and add a small amount of flour
to the board; too much flour, however,
can result in a tough, heavy texture ).
Form each half into a loaf measuring 10
by 4 by 2 inches. Flatten the top slightly.
4.Place the formed loaves onto a baking
sheet dusted with cornmeal. Cover and
let rise in a warm and draft-free place
for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they double
in volume. Bake at 400 degrees F ( 200
degrees C ) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until
the loaves sound hollow when tapped on
the bottom.
