Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups warm water (105o to 115o)
  • 2 (1/4-oz) envelopes active dry yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp water

Directions:

  1. Stir together 2 1/2 cups water and yeast in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in salt and oil.
  2. Add flour gradually, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (4 to 6 minutes). Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 35 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
  4. Punch dough down, and divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 4-inch round loaf. Place loaves on lightly greased baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal.
  5. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 35 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
  6. Stir together egg white and 1 tablespoon water; brush over loaves.
  7. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Brush with remaining egg mixture, and bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until golden. Cool on wire racks. Freeze up to 1 month, if desired.
  8. Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice from top of each loaf; scoop out centers, leaving 3/4-inch-thick shells. (Reserve centers for other uses.) Fill bread bowls with hot soup, and serve immediately.
