The recipe for this said it was a French Bread recipe but turned out to be more like a delicious loaf of Italian Bread perfect for sandwiches. I made some yummy Italian BMT sandwiches and felt like we were eating at Subway. The bread was the perfect addition.
*Note: The rising time for this is SO long. I pretty much halved all of the rising times because I was in a hurry. The loaves turned out pretty heavy, but still tasty. If you plan the time to let everything rise I'm sure it would be lovely and fluffy. But if you don't have the time, know that you can shorten rising time and it will still turn out decent.

Ingredients:
1⁄4ounce dry active yeast(1 packet)
1⁄4cup warm water
1⁄4teaspoon sugar
1cup hot water
1 1⁄2tablespoons granulated sugar
1⁄2tablespoon salt
1⁄4cup oil
2 1⁄2-3cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Dissolve yeast, warm water, and sugar in a small bowl.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine hot water, granulated sugar, salt, and oil. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour to the mixture in the large bowl/mixer and mix well. Stir in yeast mixture.
Add 1 – 1 1/2 cups more flour and mix until well blended. (At this point your dough will still be quite sticky). Leave in bowl and let rise for 1 hour, mixing a few strokes a couple of times during the hour.
Divide dough into 2 (or 3 if you want smaller loaves) pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into the length desired then roll up length wise like a jelly roll.
Put on a greased cookie sheet, sealed side down, and tuck the ends under. Slash the top diagonally across the top every couple of inches with a sharp knife. Brush with egg white. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Let loaves rise 30 more minutes.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
