French Baguettes Dough Program Makes 1½ pounds of dough, 2 baguettes 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, room temperature 1½ teaspoons kosher salt ¾ teaspoon granulated sugar 3 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons wheat germ 1¾ teaspoons yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine Cornmeal for dusting 1. Put all ingredients (except for the cornmeal), in the order listed, into bread pan fitted with kneading paddle. Secure bread pan into the Cuisinart® Bread Maker. 2. Press the PROG button to select the Dough program. Press START/STOP to begin the dough-making process. 3. When the cycle is complete, remove dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Punch to deflate and let rest, covered with plastic wrap, for 10 minutes. 4. Divide dough into two equal pieces. Shape each piece of dough into a long, narrow baguette, about 12 inches in length, and place on a baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 30 to 40 minutes. While baguettes are rising, place a pan (a roasting pan works well) of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 425°F. 5. Dust dough gently with additional flour. Using a serrated knife, make 4 diagonal slashes in each loaf, about ¼ inch deep. Bake bread in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until browned and hollow sounding when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Bread slices best when allowed to cool completely.

Put all ingredients (except for 1 tablespoon of olive oil), in the order listed, into bread pan fitted with kneading paddle. Secure bread pan into the Cuisinart® Bread Maker. 2. Press the PROG button to select the Dough program. Press START/STOP to begin the dough-making process. 3. When the cycle is complete, remove dough from machine and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Punch down to deflate. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 4. Roll the dough out into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick, 10 inches long and 22 inches wide. Roll the rectangle so that its width runs from left to right. With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut strips that are each ½ inch wide. Twist each strip so it resembles a cheese straw (a tight spiral). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about a ½- to 1-inch space between each piece. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. 5. Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in the lower and upper positions of the oven. 6. Once breadsticks have rested, brush with olive oil and bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes, switching racks halfway through baking. 7. Allow to cool slightly and serve.
