    I have a question about french bread dough

    I got this recipe from allrecipes.com and I was wondering if I wanted to make this a herbed bread, I was thinking of adding some garlic powder, how much do you think I should ad?  

    This is an awesome recipe by the way. Big Smile

     

    French Bread

    INGREDIENTS:

    1 1/4 cups water (70 to 80
    degrees F)
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    3 1/2 cups bread flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons active dry
    yeast
    1 tablespoon cornmeal
    GLAZE:
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon water
    2 teaspoons sesame seeds,
    toasted

    DIRECTIONS:

    1. In bread machine pan, place the first five ingredients in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
    2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 10-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal.
    3. Sprinkle a greased baking sheet with cornmeal; place loaves seam side down on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes.
    4. Whisk egg and water; brush over loaves. With a sharp knife, make four shallow slashes across the top of each loaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

    I would start with a quarter teaspoon and see how it tastes from there.  I can't imagine you'd go up much more than that.  Bet that'll be great!
