List of Ingredients
1 package yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water
3 cups bread flour
pinch of salt
cooking spray
1 egg white beatenRecipe
Mix yeast and warm water and let sit for 5 min (till bubbly). Add 2-1/2 cups flour and mix well until a dough ball forms. Cover and let it rest for 15 min. Once it has rested, turn out onto a floured surface and knead in the remaining 1/2 cup flour until elastic (about 6-8 min.) Place in a dough sprayed with cooking spray and cover and allow to rise. (about 45 min.)
Once dough has doubled in size, punch down and let it sit another min. Split dough in half. Place each half on a floured surface and roll into a 12 inch log (with hands). Place on a baking sheet, cover and let rise at least 20 min.
Using a knife, cut slits into the top of the dough.
Preheat oven to 450. Brush dough gently with beaten egg white and bake for 20 min.
