Ingredients

Directions

  1. Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, then set aside.
  2. Combine the yeast, butter, bread flour, sugar, hot water, and salt in the bread machine pan.
  3. Select the "French" bread cycle on your machine and press start.
  4. Wait until the ingredients have mixed and the dough begins to form, then gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
  5. Allow the machine to continue kneading and baking the loaf according to the cycle settings.
  6. Optionally, after the second kneading cycle, brush the dough with a mixture of 1 tablespoon water, a dash of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch.
  7. Sprinkle the top with sesame or poppy seeds if desired, then let the baking cycle complete.
  8. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
