PREPARATION
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, and yeast. Add water and knead with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes until dough is smooth.
-
Cover bowl with towel and allow dough to rest for 15 minutes.
-
Sprinkle dough evenly with salt and knead with dough hook until salt is well incorporated.
-
Cover with towel and set in a warm place until dough is doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
-
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough out into a 40cm x 30cm rectangle. Cut dough in half to create two 20xcm x 30cm rectangles. Starting with the 30cm side, roll each rectangle up tightly. Flatten out air bubbles as you go and taper off the ends.
-
Place dough on a baking sheet lined with a baking mat or lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Make diagonal slashed across the tops of the loaves. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat oven to 190°C. Mix together egg white and water in a small bowl. Brush over the tops of loaves.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
