  3. Add 8 cups of flour and the salt. Mix on low with dough hook until the dough comes together. Then mix on speed 2 until dough is smooth and has pulled away from the side of the bowl about 5-7 minutes. Add up to another cup of flour if too lax. It should be soft and not too sticky.

  7. Take each piece and shape into to a 3 x 3 inch square. Place on well greased cookie sheet about ½ inch apart.
  8. Cover each sheet loosely with plastic wrap and let rise about 1 hour.
  9. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 ℉.
  10. Whisk egg white and 1 tbsp water.
