Notes:
I often undershoot the flour and incorporate an extra knead into the dough before dividing it. It starts sticky and I add a bit of flour as I need.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons - yeast
- 1/2 cups - warm water
- 2 cups - hot water
- 3 tablespoons - sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1/3 cups - olive oil
- 6 1/2 cups - flour
- 1 - egg for brushing
Directions:
Step one
In a small bowl, dissolve your yeast in ½ cup warm water. Make sure that your water is warm (not too cold, not too hot). Let proof for 10 minutes.
Step two
In a separate mixing bowl, combine hot water, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of the flour and mix together. Add the yeast mixture to a bowl.
Step three
Add the remaining 3 1/2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Watch for it to start pulling away from the bowl to know it's ready. Once all of the flour is added, let sit for 10 minutes.
Step four
Separate your dough into 3 pieces. On a floured surface roll each piece into a 9x12 rectangle. Roll it up like a jelly roll. Shape into a french bread loaf and smooth out edges.
Step five
Place the dough on a greased baking pan or a Silpat, seam side down. Using a knife, make 3-4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch thick in bread. Brush with your beaten egg.
Step six
Let dough rise uncovered for 30-40 minutes in a warm place.
Step seven
Bake at 375 for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
