Fresh french bread

Yesterday, I tried my hand at making bread; something I hadn't done since I was a kid.  You see, I found this amazing KitchenAid stand mixer at a flea market (with all the accessories) and wanted to try it out.

It's such a pretty blue.  Makes me happy just looking at it!  

Here is where I found the recipe.  I only made one loaf because I wasn't sure how it would turn out.  I also used a loaf pan instead of baking on a cookie sheet.  The egg wash on top was weird, so I'm not sure I'd do that again.  Maybe melted butter instead.
