Recipe Added:  12/29/2011
1 Tbsp yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4-5 1/2 cup flour
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 egg, separated
2 Tbsp cold water
Combine yeast, water, and sugar in large mixing bowl and allow to stand 10 minutes or until bubbly. Add salt, vegetable oil, and egg yolk (set white aside for later) and combine. Add 3 cup flour and mix well until combined. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that barely sticks to your finger. Knead in mixer for another 2-3 minutes. Cover and allow to rise 1 hour 45 minutes.

Punch down dough. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. For a loaf of bread, shape into loaf and place on greased cookie sheet. For buns or hoagies, divide equally into 8-10 pieces and shape as desired.

Cover and allow to rise another 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Preheat oven to 375. Mix egg white with water and brush over dough. Bake for 10 minutes and repeat brushing the dough with the egg wash. Bake an additional 8-10 minutes or until bread is golden brown.
