French Bread

I use this bread a lot for grilled sandwiches, garlic bread, and for fondue.

French bread (1 lbs loaf)
¾ cup + 2 tbs warm water
1 ½ tsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbs sugar
½ tsp dried herbs
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 c wheat flour
1 c ap flour
4 tsp vital wheat gluten
1 ½ tsp active dry yeast


Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Set the machine on the french loaf cycle with light crust.
