Recipe for Homemade French Bread: In a stand mixer: Place 1 cup of lukewarm milk (2% or whole) AND 1 cup of lukewarm water (not hotter than 110 degrees--or it will kill the yeast) Add: 2 Tablespoons dry active yeast 2 Tablespoons softened butter 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar 2 tablespoons of oil (olive or vegetable) 3 teaspoons salt 5 cups all-purpose flour Let the yeast, liquids and sugar rest in the bowl and begin to activate for 10 minutes. Then add the butter oil, salt and the flour one cup at a time as the mixer is on low speed. When dough pulls away from the bowl, stop mixing, form into a ball, cover and let double in size for 1 hour. After 1 hour, punch down dough and let rest for 10 minutes. Form dough into 4 loaves on two-parchment lined baking sheets. Let the loaves of dough rise, covered for 40 minutes-1 hour. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven, on the lower middle and uper middle racks for 30 minutes or until golden. Rotate the baking sheets half way through the bake.

Makes Two 9x5 loaves Bake 350 for 60 minutes on middle oven rack. Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 15 ounce can pumpkin purée 3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar 1/2 cup milk 1 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp cinnamon 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie or apple pie spice 1/2 tsp allspice 1 cup cinnamon chips (I used Hershey’s cinnamon baking chips) Cinnamon-Sugar Sprinkle: 2 tablespoons + 1/4 tsp cinnamon mixed-together and divided between the two loaves. Lightly sprinkle on batter before baking. Directions: Spray two 9” loaf pans with nonstick spray-add a piece of parchment-allowing the extra parchment to overhang the edges. (The extra parchment with be the handles to help remove bread from the pan) Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, powder, salt-set aside. In a medium bowl with a spatula, mix together the pumpkin, sugars, oil, eggs, milk, and spices. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Stir to combine-leaving no white streaks of flour. Fold in cinnamon chips. Pour batter evenly into the two prepared pans. Sprinkle the top of each loaf with cinnamon-sugar, 1Tablespoon/loaf. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 60 minutes on the middle rack. Check the center of each loaf with a knife or toothpick-should come out cleanly when finished baking. Allow to cool 5 minutes then promptly transfer loaves to a wire rack, remove parchment paper, cool before slicing. Can be made in 8x4” loaf pans-you may need adjust bake time by a few additional minutes to accommodate pan size change. Finished bread will have no wet batter when tested with a toothpick or knife.
