Directions: |
Directions:Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 5 minutes. Place flour and salt in a food processor or mixing bowl and mix until blended. With mixer on, slowly add yeast and process until dough forms a ball. Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4-5 times. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover dough with a clean towel and let rise 45 minutes in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down and shape into a round loaf or place in a bread pan (preferred to keep shape). Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled. Preheat oven to 450º. Uncover dough, make 3 diagonal cuts across dough. Combine 1 tbsp. water with egg white and brush this mixture on top of loaf. Bake at 450º for 18-20 minutes. |
