Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pkg active dry yeast
2 1/2 c warm water (105 degrees f-115 degrees f.)
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp butter, melted
7 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp corn meal

1 Tbsp cold water

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl of electric stand mixer with dough hook attachment. Add salt butter and flour. Turn to low and mix until blended about 1 minute. Knead on low about 2 minutes longer. Dough will be sticky.

Place loaves on greased baking sheets that have been dusted with corn meal. Cover & let rise in warm place free from draft, about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
  • 4. With a sharp knife make 4 diagonal cuts on top of each loaf. Bake at 450 degrees F. for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Beat egg white and water together with a fork, brush each loaf with egg mixture. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes longer. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool on wire racks.
