| Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water. In large bowl mix water, sugar, salt, oil and let stand until lukewarm. Add yeast and stir well, then add three cups of the flour. Mix with wooden spoon until very smooth. Add the other two cups of flour one cup at a time until smooth. Leave the spoon in the batter and let rest for ten minutes five different times, stirring each ten minutes. (total 50 minutes) Turn out on floured board. Divide in two and roll each piece into a rectangle and toll up as if for a jelly roll. Put on greased cookie sheet and allow room. This makes two loaves. Beat one egg white and brush on top and sprinkle with sesame sees or poppy seeds. Cut three slashes with a sharp knife and let raise until double -- 1/2 to 1 hour. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes. Can also use this recipe for breadsticks and brush with butter and parmesan cheese. |

Guys, this recipe is super easy. And super yummy. I usually don't put any of the seeds on top.
