So the miss had a hankerings for my French bread cheesy olive bread. So one pack of yeast, 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of water. ( thanks dad for teaching me how to bake). One key point no matter what is activat your yeast. Never mix it with dry ingredients. Make sure your water is between 110 to 120 degrees add yeast and sugar. Let it activate. Then add your salt. Salt and yeast don’t work well together. Then add flour and mix by hand. Turn it into a ball and oil a bowl lightly. Place ball In bowl. Let it rest for 1/2 hour. Roll it into a square and roll it up. Bend over the edges. Make 3 to 4 cuts on top. Let it rest for 10 minutes to rise a little more. Heat over to 375 and brush on egg wash on top. Set time for 20 minutes and then brush on butter and bake for 10 to 15 more minutes. This is the French bread. The Oliver mixture is pending waiting for bread to cool.
