Preparation
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- In a large bowl, combine hot water, sugar, salt, shortening, and 1/2 (3 cups) of the flour.
- Beat well with wooden spoon, or in a large mixer using a dough hook attachment.
- Stir in dissolved yeast.
- Add remaining 3 cups of flour, mixing well until blended.
- Leave spoon/dough hook in batter, allowing dough to rest for 10 minutes.
- Stir again vigorously, allowing dough to rest another 10 minutes.
- Repeat until dough has been stirred 5 times.
- On floured board, turn out dough and knead once or twice until it is lightly covered with flour.
- Divide dough in half.
- Roll each half into rectangles, about 9x12 inches.
- Starting at the long edge, roll loosely, like a jelly roll, sealing the edge.
- Place roll, lengthwise, seam down on a large baking sheet, arranging so both loaves will fit on one sheet.
- Gash top of each loaf diagonally with sharp knife, 3-4 times, then brush with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Allow loaves to rise 30 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

"Perhaps because I stirred this by hand, it did *not* turn out as French baguettes. But it made two huge loaves of very soft sandwich bread—sort of like Schlotzsky’s. This was perfect for chicken salad sandwiches and fed five hungry adults with leftovers to toast in the oven the next day! I will keep the recipe."

"Made this today for Easter. It was excellent, we dipped in olive oil with parmesan bread seasoning. It was a big hit!"

"Absolutely AMAZING!! Super airy and light. You can use this dough to make anything! I baked mine on a baking tray with baking paper so had no issue with it sticking. I also halved the recipe and make one loaf; it turned out pretty big! I would recommend baking the bread at a slightly lower temp, as mine browned pretty quickly. This is my favourite bread recipe so far!!"
