French bread
2T instant yeast
2 1/2 c. warm water
3T sugar
5T olive oil
6 c. flour
1T salt
1 egg white
In water combine yeast and sugar. Then add the oil and half of flour. Mix well. Then add salt and the rest of the flour. Beat together on a high speed until it forms a ball. Then kneed on a floured surface until smooth. Cut in half and roll until it forms a loaf. Make sure the edges are turned under. Put on a cookie sheet. Cover with a wet paper towel and let rise for 30 minutes. Cut the top with a sharp knife and brush with egg whites. Bake @ 400 for about 20-25 or until golden brown. Enjoy!
