white bread recipe from Sophie's bday

2 & 2/3 cups white flour

1/3 cup gluten flour 

1.25 cups hot tap water

3/4 ts salt

2 tb sugar

2 ts quick rise yeast

2 tb oil

ground flax seed (optional, i added a few tb to mine)

combine in your kitchenaid mixer

• 1 & 2/3 cup white flour
  
• 1/3 cup gluten flour
• the salt and sugar
• the yeast
• mix it up with spoon
• add the hot water
• mix with spoon

start mixer on slowest setting.

mix for a minute so its all mixed, will be pretty sticky.

• add the oil
• add the remaining 1 cup flour slowly
• let mix for 10 minutes on slowest setting (important!)

altitude and flour types can be different. if seems to sticky even after 8 minutes, add a little more flour. the dough should not be sticking to bowl.

after the 10 minutes, take dough out and cut in half if you want small loaves like we had.

flatten each loaf with rolling pin and roll up into long narrow french bread.

cover and let rise 1 hr

bake for 28 minutes at 385 degrees if one big loaf, a bit less if 2 small loaves.

done!
