| 1. Place warm water in a large ceramic or plastic bowl. | 2. Add sugar and yeast. let proof until yeast is foamy. | 3. In a very large bowl combine flour with salt. | 4. Add any type of seasonings, cheese whatever you want to the flour mixture. some hints: cheddar and green onion, rosemary and sage, cheddar and dill, Italian seasoning with garlic and Parmesan, roasted red peppers and bacon just to name a few --. | 5. Add yeast mixture to flour and using a heavy spoon mix. | 6. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 7-10 minutes. | 7. Place dough into a large greased bowl, cover and let rise until double in bulk. | 8. I usually put my oven on warm and turn it off and place the bowl in there. it usually takes about 45 minutes this way to rise. | 9. Punch down and form into rolls place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. If making baguettes: divide dough in half and on a lightly floured board press into a 16x12 rectangle (approx.) cut dough crosswise in half; role up each half of dough tightly beginning at 12 inch side. Roll gently back and forth to taper the ends. Place 3 inches apart on a cookie sheet or baking stone that has been dusted in corn meal. | 10. Make diagonal slices on top of both rolls or baguettes. I like to use an exacto knife. | 11. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes. | 12. Brush with egg yolk mixture. | 13. Sprinkle on any additional seasoning if you choose. | 14. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and when tapped it makes a hollow sound. | 15. The yield to this recipe will depend on how big you want your rolls. On average I can get about 16 large rolls from this and about 8 small baguettes. | 16. These freeze really well. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
