French Bread

3 c. warm water
2 T. sugar
2 T. yeast
Mix together. Let bubble.

In mixer:
1 T. salt
2 t. oil (I use olive oil)
3 c. flour (I use 1 or 2 c. wheat flour)

Add liquid to dry ingredients and then about 4-6 cups flour; until it pulls clean. Mix for a couple minutes, let rise in bowl (about an hour). Divide dough in two. Roll out on lightly floured counter. Roll up (like cinnamon rolls) and put in french bread pan, sprayed with oil. Or you can put it on cookie sheet. Let rise 15-20 minutes. Make little slits with knife and brush with egg wash. (lightly beaten whole egg).
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
