Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 packet active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
6 1/2 to 7 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal for pan

Instructions:
Add warm water to large bowl then add yeast and sugar. Let stand approx. 5 minutes to "proof" yeast. When yeast starts clumping, add remaining ingredients. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk (approx. 30 to 45 min.). Punch down and shape into 2 loaves. Spray French bread pan with non-stick spray and then sprinkle with cornmeal. Put loaves in pan and gash loaves about 1/4 inch deep every 2 inches. Cover with towel and let rise about 1/2 hour. Bake at 350 F for 40 to 45 minutes. Brush tops lightly with butter. Cool on wire rack or serve immediately (best).

Comments:
I especially make this when I need to "vent" as slamming the bread on the hard surface during kneading is good for the bread.
