French Bread

1/2 c warm water
2 c hot water
3 T sugar
1/3 c oil
2 pkgs. yeast
6 c flour
1 T salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Combine remaining ingredients using only 3 cups of flour. Mix well. Add yeast and beat well. Add remaining flour to make soft dough that still can be mixed with a spoon. Leave spoon in dough and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Stir down dough every ten minutes for 1 hour. Divide into 2 parts. Roll up each like a jelly roll or make 2 dozen rolls. Put on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with egg white and slash diagonally. Let rise until double in size. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
