Grandma's Best French Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups bread flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter

6 tablespoons water

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon ground paprika

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 cup regular milk

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 egg whites

1 cup sweetened white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

First, prepare the recipe. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, butter, water, and salt. Mix well, then divide dough into four unequal pieces, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a small saucepan over medium heat mix mashed banana with milk and vanilla pods, crushed and reserved 1/2 cup of tea mixture. Beat eggs gently with electric mixer on low speed until soft peaks form. In a small mixing bowl, beat cooked mixture with remaining 1/2 cup diced banana. Pour into prepared oven.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted immediately comes out clean.

In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes, then fold in remaining egg whites. Spread sticky white bread crumbs evenly over baked loaf; sprinkle with about a teaspoon of oil, if desired.
