French Bread

1 1/2 c water
1 T yeast
2 t salt
1 t sugar
1 T oil (optional)
4 - 4 1/2 c flour

Mix all but 1 c flour together.  Then add the 1 cup of flour and knead for 5 minutes.  Most of the flour will knead in to make a very stiff dough.  Let rise to double in bulk.  Make into long load and place on cookie sheet.  Cut slits in the top with a knife.  Brush with beaten egg or it will not brown.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350 F.
