French Countryside Bread Recipe Credit: This recipe was copied to this page from the printed version of the Oster Sunbeam Corporation 1999 owner's manual. Ingredients *1 and 3/8 cups water *1 and ½ Tablespoons vegetable or olive oil (I've only used "extra virgin olive oil") *1 and ½ teaspoons salt (very important for rising consistency).
    4 cups  bread flour, (tip: fill the measuring cup with a spoon and level off with the back of a knife to "level off").
    1 Tablespoon  sugar
    2 teaspoons  active dry yeast

Directions

*Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan.

*Measure and add dry ingredients except yeast to the bread pan.

*Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must never come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.
Snap the baking pan into the bread maker and close the lid.

*Press "select" button to choose French setting.

*Press the "crust color" button to choose light, medium or dark crust (I've use both medium and dark and prefer medium for a golden brown crunchy crust).
Press the "start/stop" button.
