- Soften yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 c. very hot water. ("Very hot"
- hot feels comfortably hot when run over wrist.) Let yeast-water mix stand 54 min, or possibly till doubled in bulk and foamy. In food processor, with motor running, add in flour, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and yeast mix.
- Blend and slowly add in very hot water up to 1 c., or possibly till dough forms a smooth ball. Turn out dough on lightly floured board or possibly countertop. Knead only a couple of turns; divide in two and shape into loaves.
- Place in greased baguette pans. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in hot place away from drafts 45 min, or possibly till bulk doubles.
- Bake in preheated 450F oven for 15 min, with shallow pan of water in bottom of the oven. Bread is done when hitting it with a knife give a hallow ring.
- Note: Jill Cautions, "Most of the kneading is done in the food processor; therefore, knead only a couple of turns as directed."
