I tend to leave out the egg wash portion of this recipe.
Place dough ingredients in bread pan, select Dough setting and start.
When the dough cycle ends, the machine will beep. Set a timer and allow the dough to rise 1 more hour.
Take dough out of breadmaker and turn onto lightly floured surface and let rest, covered with a cloth for 15 minutes.
Prepare French bread pan or cookie sheet by greasing and sprinkling with cornmeal. Divide dough into 2 parts and roll each into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch ends to seal. Gently roll dough back and forth to lengthen roll. Place in prepared pan. Make 1/4-inch deep slashes in each loaf. Brush with egg white lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons cold water. Let rise, uncovered, in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Brush loaves again.
Bake in a preheated convection oven on second to lowest rack at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes, brushing loaves again after first 3 minutes in oven. Remove loaves from pan and place directly on oven rack for 3 minutes to crisp bottom of loaf if necessary.
Makes 2 16-inch loaves.
