For all my canapes, I use this recipe. Here are my modifications: Bake at 375° for 55 minutes, use 3 3/4 cups flour, and do not let the bread rise while in the tube or else it will overflow during baking.

This bread was soooo good! All of the times I've attempted to make bread, they've failed (I suck at breadmaking)! This was my first successful bread and it was so easy, too! The crusts were very hard, but I baked the bread without the caps on top of the molds. For softer crusts, I would probably slather the loafs with butter as soon as they were out of the tubes. I like tough crusts, though, and will probably not use a bread mold next time I make this because it kind of reminded me of the baguettes at Panera Bread. Great recipe!
