7.Place each loaf,seam side down,on a greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (optional). Lightly brush each loaf with oil. Cover and let rise in warm,draft-free place for 20 to 30 minutes until double in size. With a sharp knife make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across the top of each loaf. Lightly beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water;brush some of egg white mixture over top of each loaf. Bake at 350 oF for 20 minutes.Brush again with remaining egg white mixture.

8.Bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until done. Bread should sound hollow when tapped. (For even browning when baking two loaves,switch positions of sheets halfway through baking.) Remove the breads from the sheets;cool on a wire rack. Yield:Makes 2 loaves.
