  4. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky(about 10 minutes), adding more flour as necessary.
  5. Place in a lightly oiled bowl.
  6. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume(1 1/2-2 hours).
  7. Punch dough down.
  8. Transfer to a floured board and cut into four equal parts.
  9. Roll and shape each part into a long loaf.
  10. Place loaves into a lightly oiled, special long-loaf pans(baguette pans).
  11. Slash the top of each loaf diagonally in three or four places and
  12. brush with egg white and water mixture.
  13. Let dough rise another hour or until doubled in volume.
  14. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  16. cover the loaves with foil to prevent scorching the tops.
