Psalm 119:145

    [145] With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O LORD!

        I will keep your statutes.

1 1/3 c Water (95 degree warm) I had to add another 1/8 c warm water- add a little at a time

3 1/2 c aerated Bread Flour 

1 t Salt 

1 T dried rosemary 

1 c grated Parmesan 

2 t Quick Yeast

Dough brushing

2 T Olive Oil (to coat dough that is shaped and ready to rise)

Select dough setting

Check dough after 5 minutes to see if you need to add more warm water

Mine was too dry so I did 

Dough should be soft but not sticky

Check again to make sure it's going into a ball

After the 1-1/2 hours dough making, remove to lightly flour dusted surface, I used a piece of parchment 

Cut into 2 equal pieces and flatten to a rectangle shape

You will have 2 Baguettes 

Roll up dough pretty tightly like you are going to make cinnamon rolls, pinching ends and where dough edge meets and give it a light roll on parchment 

Lay on parchment on baking pan

Brush with olive oil

Cover to rise ( should take 45 minutes) 

Mine took 40 minutes 

I turned my oven on early to 450 degrees to get kitchen warm, but this is your baking temp

After rising, make 3 inch slits longwise across top

Bake 8 minutes then rotate pan and bake another 6-7 minutes until lightly golden 

Remove from oven to rack to cool 

Don't freak because the tops will be hard as a rock but will soften as they cool

Let cool 10-15 minutes before cutting 

Make olive oil Italian seasoning dipping sauce

Keep in a bread bag
