1 cup water
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycles.

Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)

Grease cookie sheet. Punch down dough. Roll dough into 16x12-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Cut dough crosswise in half to make two 8x12 pieces. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Gently roll back and forth to taper ends.

Place loaves 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes across tops of loaves, using sharp knife, or make 1 lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until double.

Heat oven to 375°. Mix egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water brush over tops of loaves. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack.
