Mix and knead the dough at medium speed for 10 minutes., Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Sprinkle the top with flour.

Sprinkle the top with more flour or brush with a mixture of 1 egg white beaten with a tablespoon of water., Slash the top in a decorative design, and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 55 to 65 minutes, until the center measures 200°F when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven, tip out of the pan, and cool on a rack completely before slicing., Store at room temperature, well wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.
