Grease eight 2 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Gently knead dough on lightly
floured surface until deflated. Pat out to 3/4 inch-thick rectangle. Cut
into 8 even pieces. Pat each out into 4x7-inch rectangle. Spread 1 ounce

ends to seal. Arrange seam side down in prepared pans. Cover with kitchen
towel. Let rise for 15 minutes to lighten.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Brush loaves with egg glaze and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake until light brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about
30 minutes. Immediately remove from pans. Cool on racks
10 minutes. Serve loaves hot.
Variation: Spread 1 Tbs raspberry preserves on short end of dough before
adding chopped chocolate.
