French Bread
I have made this bread twice. The first time I didn't enjoy it. It was too dense. Then I realized it was due to my developing too much gluten in the dough and nearly destroying it anyway. I added 4 cups flour at first, 2 tsp. salt and egg washed 5 minutes into baking and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. The recipe is wonderful and easy to follow with just minor changes. I've been using this recipe with my chili to dampen the heat.
