Directions
Ham, Cheese and Herb Baguette, This French style loaf can be made from start to finish in a little over an hour It’s a hearty loaf that is delicious sliced and lightly toasted and served with soups, stews, and salads, Wonderful bread! We really liked this one The herbs came through and provided lots of flavor used the ABM to mix the dough which made this extra easy I did use the chopped ham, but I can see the bread being equally good without it I will be making this one again!

Place the Yeast in a Large Mixing Bowl. Mix in the Warm Water and Honey and Set Aside in a Warm Spot For About 10 Minutes, or Until the Yeast Is Dissolved and Begins Bubbling. (if the Yeast Does not Bubble It Is Probably Dead. Begin Again, Using Fresh Yeast.) Gradually Sift the Flour and Salt Into the Yeast Mixture, Stirring Constantly Until the Dough Begins to Pull Away from the Sides of the Bowl. |

Sprinkle Some Flour Over a Working Surface and Gently Knead the Dough For Several Minutes. Cut the Dough in Half and Roll Out One Half Into a Rectangle (like a Rectangular Pizza) About 14 Inches by 10 Inches. Brush the Dough With 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the Olive Oil. Scatter Half the Ham Over the Surface, Pressing It Gently Into the Dough. Sprinkle Half the Cheese on Top and Scatter Half the Herbs and a Generous Grinding of Fresh Black Pepper Over the Dough. Using Your Hands, Gently Roll the Dough Lengthwise, Into the Shape of a Long Cigar. Lightly Seal the Edges of the Dough. Place in a Well Greased French Bread Pan (or on a Well-Greased Cookie Sheet) and Cover With a Clean Tea Towel. |
