Combine 1/2 cup warm water and 2T yeast and set aside. In mixer, combine 2 cups hot water, 1/3 cup oil, 3T sugar, 3t salt. Stir 3 cups flour into water, oil, sugar, and salt mixture. Add yeast/water mixture, beat until smooth. Add 3 cups more flour.
Rest dough 10 minutes. Stir down. Rest and stir every 10 minutes for a total of 5 times. Divide dough and shape into two loaves on a greased cookie sheet. Cut diagonal slashes with a sharp knife. Brush loaves with beaten egg whites. Let rise. Bake about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
*Note: I like to substitute 2 cups of whole wheat flour for 2 cups of white flour.
