Crusty White Bread
   
   This is the one we like for croque monsieur sandwiches, French toast, and sage/onion dressing! It is also a vegan recipe.
   
   1-3/8 to 1-1/2 cups water
   2 tablespoons olive oil
   1-1/2 teaspoons salt
   4 cups bread flour
   1/4 cup wheat gluten
   2 teaspoons yeast
   
   French bread setting, 2 lb loaf. Pull the paddle when the indicator reads 1:55.
   
   We have tried making this without the added wheat gluten. That resulted in a shrunken and misshapen loaf. Wheat gluten is sold in the Bob's Red Mill section under "wheat gluten flour".
