Your bread recipe was intended to be used in one. There is quite a difference in bread machine yeast and regular yeast (see my source) I would substitute Regular Active Dry Yeast. Then when you have mixed all the ingredients, dump it out onto a well floured surface. Shape your dough into a ball and place in a larger bowl that has been coated on the inside with shortening. I find this step is easier if you sprinkle the dough with flour before shaping as the dough tends to stick to your hands otherwise. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set in a very warm place to rise until it has doubled in size. Coat the inside of your baking pan with shortening. Punch down and knead your dough for a couple of minutes. Shape the dough into a shape that will fit your pan and place it into the baking pan, cover again, let rise until doubled again, then bake as directed. I frequently buy the bread machine mixes and use them without a bread machine. There are directions on the package to use if you don't have one and they come in a variety of types; regular white, rye, sourdough, cinnamon, cheese and onion. They all work well for me.

Cover, let rest/rise approx 30 minutes (longer if you keep your house very cool. Punch down, cover, let rise again approx 30 minutes. Divide in half, and shape into baguettes (or make a single loaf or boule). Preheat oven during this final rise -- baguettes 500F/ 260C, or 350F/175C. Bake baguettes about 5-7 minutes, or loaf 30-45 minutes. Baguettes should come out with a very crispy brown crust and soft crumb, loaf will have a dark golden to brown crust. If you have an oven probe, the internal temp should be 205-210F/96-98C. You can pull them at 190F/88C, but you will have a less flavorful crust. This is simple, traditional “french” bread recipe:
