To make bread crusty, dilute 1 egg white with 1 tablespoon cold water. Brush on top of bread 5 minutes before baking is finished. Lightly oil the cup in which you measure molasses, honey, and other sticky ingredients. Knead dough with the heel of your hand, it's the coolest part of the hand. Put flour and water in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously for instant and smooth thickening for a recipe. To make toasted bread cups, ready for filling, trim crusts and cut full rounds from fresh bread. Press rounds into a lightly buttered muffin pan and place in a 350 degree oven until golden brown. Use a hot knife to cut fresh bread easily.
