Protein French Bread

In a large bowl or stand mixer using a dough hook, combine water, sugar and yeast; let stand for 10 minutes.

Cover bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a thick rectangle (approx. 8x10-inches). Roll up the dough starting from the long edge, pinch and tuck the edges under to form a loaf then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, cut a few lines in the top of each loaf a few inches apart and cover with greased plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let raise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and make sure oven rack is in the center position. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Let cool before slicing and cut each loaf into 10 (2 ounce) slices.
