      Title: Herbes De Provence French Bread
 Categories: 
      Yield: 4 Loaves
 
  2 1/2 c  Warm water
      1 pk Dry yeast
      2 tb Sugar
      1 tb Salt
      2 tb Herbes De Provence
      7 c  Flour
      1    Egg white; lightly beaten
 
  Stir the first five ingredients together to
  dissolve the yeast, sugar and salt. Stir in the
  flour. Knead 10 minutes. Let rise, covered, until
  doubled in bulk. Punch down; knead three or four
  times to remove air, then divide in four equal
  pieces. Shape each piece into a long loaf and
  place in a well greased French bread pan; slash
  the top. Brush the loaves with the egg white and
  let rise until doubled. Bake 10 minutes in an oven
  preheated to 400°, then reduce the heat to 350° and
  ake 20 minutes longer, or until the loaves sound
  hollow when tapped. Remove the loaves from the
  pans and cool on racks. Wrap in aluminum foil and
  freeze if desired.
