EASY FRENCH BREAD RECIPE
1 1/4 c. warm water
1 t. shortening
1 t. salt
1 T. sugar
1 pkg. dry yeast
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and add 1/2 c. flour. Let stand for 15 minutes. Knead in 2 1/2 c. flour. Place in lightly greased covered bowl, turning once to grease surface. Work down every 10 minutes, 4 or 5 times. Roll up as jelly roll and place on greased pan. Let rise until double and slit surface 3 or 4 times. Combine 1 egg white with 1 T. water and gently brush on bread. Bake 25 minutes at 400 degrees.
