2
tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon gluten
2 teaspoons salt
To make the poolish starter, place the water, flour, and yeast in the bread pan. Pro-
gram for the Dough cycle, and set a kitchen timer for 10 minutes. When the timer
rings, press Stop and unplug the machine. Let the starter sit in the machine for
about 6 hours.
To make the dough, combine the water and the yeast, stirring to dissolve. Pour into
the bread pan with the poolish and add the flour, sugar, gluten, and salt. Set crust
on dark and program for the French Bread cycle; press Start. (This recipe is not
suitable for use with the Delay Timer.) The dough ball will be slightly wet and
slack, but smooth and elastic.
When the baking cycle ends, check the bread. If the crust is still pale and loaf is not
done, reset for Bake Only for 12 minutes longer. When the bread is done, imme-
diately remove it from the pan and place it on a rack. Let cool to room tempera-
ture before slicing.
