I just realized I never sent you my french bread recipe:
2 T yeast with 1/2 cup warm water, set aside
Combine:
2 c hot water
1 T salt
3 T sugar
1/3 c melted butter
3 c flour
Mix well
Then add in the yeast mixture and another 3 cups of flour and mix well.
Every 10 min, stir again for about 30 seconds for 5 times.
Then divide dough in half and form loaves. Slash the top of each loaf diagonally 3 times, and let rise for 20 min.
Bake at 400 for 20-25 min.
