1/3 c. warm water
2 c. hot water
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
5 tbsp. shortening, melted or vegetable oil

Dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water. Let stand 10 minutes. In large bowl combine 2 cups hot water, sugar, salt, shortening and half of the flour; beat well. Stir in dissolved yeast. Stir in remaining flour; mix well. Leaving spoon in batter, allow to rest again for 10 minutes. Stir vigorously. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Repeat 3 more times.

Turn out dough onto floured board. Knead once or twice until lightly coated with flour. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 9"x12" rectangle. Starting at long edge, roll loosely as for jelly roll. Seal edge. Place both rolls seam side down on one large baking sheet. Gash top of each loaf diagonally 3 times with a sharp knife. Brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes, until golden brown. Yield: 2 loaves.
