| 1. Into a large warm mixing bowl, pour warm water, then stir in sugar, salt, oil, and half of the flour and yeast. | 2. Beat vigorously for 2 or 3 minutes. | 3. Stir in remaining flour until all dry ingredients are completely mixed inches. | 4. Let your dough mixer or machine kneed the dough for a further 8 minutes to really get the gluten working in the flour to create a softer bread. | 5. Once the mixing is done, transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with a dough towel or plastic wrap. | 6. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes. (Time this.) | 7. At the end of the 20 minutes, punch the dough down; two punches should do it. | 8. Then set the time again for 10 minutes; at the end of the 10 minutes, punch the dough down again. | 9. Repeat the ten minute intervals five times. | 10. After the 5th time of punching down the dough, turn the dough onto a floured board; knead only enough to coat dough with enough flour so that it can be handled. | 11. Divide the dough into 2 parts. | 12. Roll each part of dough into a rectangle about 4 x 12 inches and roll up like a jelly roll, rolling from the long side. | 13. Pinch end to seal. | 14. Arrange on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. | 15. Allow the two loaves to rise for a further 30 minutes. | 16. With a very sharp knife, cut 4 gashes at an angle on top, then brush with beaten whole egg. | 17. If desired, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. | 18. Bake immediately at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until light to medium brown. | 19. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
