Directions:
In large mixing bowl, pour warm water, add sugar and yeast and allow to stand 5 minutes. Stir in salt, oil, half the flour. Beat vigorously. Stir in remaining flour until all dry ingredients are completely mixed in, leaving spoon in heavy batter. Allow dough to rest 10 minutes, then stir down. Repeat this process until it has been stirred down 5 times. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and divide in two. Roll each half into a rectangle about 9 x 12 inches and roll up like a jelly roll. Pinch edge to seal dough. Arrange lengthwise on large cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with corn meal, allowing room for both loaves. Cover and raise for 1 hour. With sharp knife cut three gashes at an angle on top. Brush surface with beaten egg. If desired sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until brown.
