U.S. whole wheat flour results in a shorter, denser loaf than Canadian whole wheat flours. You can substitute one cup of white flour for one cup of whole wheat for a lighter, yet delicious wheat taste!

5.When cycle is complete,remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary,knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle.

6.Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 10" x 8" rectangle. Beginning at long end,roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Taper ends by gently rolling back and forth.

7.Place each loaf,seam side down,on a greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (optional). Lightly brush each loaf with oil. Cover and let rise in warm,draft-free place for 20 to 30 minutes until double in size. With a sharp knife make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across the top of each loaf. Lightly beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water;brush some of egg white mixture over top of each loaf. Bake at 350 oF for 20 minutes.Brush again with remaining egg white mixture.

8.Bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until done. Bread should sound hollow when tapped. (For even browning when baking two loaves,switch positions of sheets halfway through baking.) Remove the breads from the sheets;cool on a wire rack. Yield:Makes 2 loaves.

This crusty french bread, with its chewy texture makes a deli- cious garlic bread. Just slice lengthwise, top with garlic butter & broil.

* In U.S., use Bread Flour; in Canada, use either Bread Flour or All-Purpose Flour.
