Place all ingredients, in the order listed, in the bread pan fitted with the kneading paddle and place in Cuisinart™ Convection Bread Maker. Press Menu and select Dough/Pizza Dough. Select dough size. Press Start to mix, knead and rise. When cycle is completed, remove dough, punch to deflate and let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough into appropriate number of equal pieces, depending upon size prepared. Shape each piece of dough into a long narrow baguette and place on a baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise 30 to 40 minutes. While baguettes rise, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Dust dough gently with additional flour. Make 4 diagonal slashes in each loaf about 1⁄4 - inch (0.5 cm) deep using a serrated knife. Bake bread in preheated oven 25 to 30 minutes until browned and hollow-sounding when tapped. When cycle is completed, remove bread from machine and transfer to wire rack to cool. Bread slices best when allowed to cool.
