    Title: Jill St. John's French Bread
    Categories: Breads, French, Celebrity
    Yield: 2 Loaves

    1 1/2 Env active dry yeast
    2 tb Sugar
    1 1/2 c Very warm water
    3 1/2 c All-purpose flour (more if
    - desired
    2 ts Salt

    Soften yeast with 1 tsp. sugar in 1/2 cup very warm
    water. ("Very warm" warm feels comfortably warm when
    run over wrist.) Let yeast-water mixture stand 54 min,
    or until doubled in bulk and foamy. In food processor,
    with motor running, add flour, salt, remaining 1 tsp.
    sugar and yeast mixture.

    Blend and slowly add very warm water up to 1 cup, or
    until dough forms a smooth ball. Turn out dough on a
    lightly floured board or countertop. Knead only a
    couple of turns; divide in two and shape into loaves.
    Place in greased baguette pans. Cover with plastic
    wrap; let rise in warm place away from drafts 45 min,
    or until bulk doubles.

    Bake in a 450-|F/232-|C oven 15 minutes, with shallow
    pan of water in bottom of the oven. Bread is done when
    hitting it with a knife gives a hollow ring.

    NOTE: Jill Cautions, "Most of the kneading is done in
    the food processor; therefore, knead only a couple of
    turns as directed."
