4 1/2 teaspoons (2 packets) instant yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 cups (18 ounces or 510 grams) bread flour
3 cups (13.5 ounces or 383 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fine salt
1 egg white

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer stir together the yeast, water, olive oil, and sugar. Add the bread flour and stir until combined. Fit the mixer with the dough hook and on low speed, gradually add in the all-purpose flour and then the salt.

Turn speed to medium-low and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. You can also knead by hand for 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Gently deflate the dough and divide into 6 equal portions.
Stretch each portion into a tight ball, pinching the bottom with your fingers and rolling around on the counter to seal and shape. If the ball is too loose it may deflate while baking, so be sure to make a nice tight shape.

Place the balls on a greased baking sheet. Slash the top with a sharp knife to score in an X shape. Cover and let rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place an empty broiler tray on the top shelf.In a small bowl, beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush over the dough.

Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven. Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the door. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely. Cut a large round from the top of each loaf and scoop out the center.
 
Carb over load....it would be worth the diabetic coma to eat that soup and bowl!!! Great job.
