2 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoon dry yeast
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon Spice 'N Easy™ Herbes de Provence spice
7 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white; lightly beaten
Stir the first five ingredients together to dissolve the yeast, sugar and salt.
Stir in the flour. Knead 10 minutes. Cover, place in a warm spot and let rise, until
doubled in bulk.
Punch down; knead three or four times to remove air, then divide in four equal
pieces. Shape each piece into a long loaf and place in a well greased French bread
pan (or form into loaf on a baking sheet) slash the top with a sharp knife or razor
blade.
Brush the loaves with the egg white and let rise until doubled.
Bake 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 400F, then reduce the heat to 350F and
bake 20 min. longer, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove the
loaves from the pans and cool on racks.
