Step 2
In large bowl, combine 1-1/3 cups of the flour and the yeast. In a saucepan, heat reserved oil, water and salt until warm (120 degree F to 130 degree F). Add to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping side of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in tomatoes, onion, garlic, and as much remaining flour as you can.
Step 3
Turn out onto a floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that's smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours).
Step 4
Punch dough down. Cover and let rise until doubled (30 to 40 minutes).
Step 5
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape each half into a round loaf.* Place on prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly to 5-1/2 inches in diameter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled (about 40 minutes). Brush tops with egg white.
Step 6
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Cover loosely with foil during the last 10 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Makes 2 loaves.
