Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.

Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Burgundy Bread

Ingredients

1/2 cup oil, olive
1 cup wine, red, dry
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 lb bread, french, quartered

Preparation

Put a half cup of oil in a small sauce pan with the cup of red
wine. Add the garlic and stir over medium heat bringing it all to a
boil to eliminate the alcohol. When heated thoroughly, the mixture is
done.

Take a loaf of French bread and slice it lengthwise in half so you
have a top half and a bottom half. Then take the two halves and slice
them in half again vertically so that you have four pieces
altogether. (two tops and two bottoms)

Use a brush to paint your French bread pieces with the liquid
mixture (generously). Broil the pieces of bread about 6" from a
broiler (liquid painted side up) for about 5 minutes and serve.

If it's going to be a little while before you can serve the bread,
you can wrap it in foil and keep it warm.
