French baguette

I decided to play a little today and check out recipes for baguettes.
After a few trys and making changes here is a good one

5-5 1/2  cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups warm water  (110-120 degrees)
1 tbls sugar
2  1/4 o packs of active dry yeast ( approx 5 tsp)
2 egg whites
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tbls water
Dissolve yeast in warm water and add sugar to feed yeast.
Once yeast starts to foam its active and ready to use
add flour,salt,egg white to large mixing bowl
and pour in yeast,water,sugar mixture and kneed for 8-10 minutes on a foured surface or with a mixer with a dough hook
Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm area for one hour
Punch down dough and cut in half then roll to a 15 x 15 inch oval ( don't try to be perfect)
Roll dough and pinch ends to form a baguette and place on a greased pan coated with corn meal seam side down and cover. Allow to rise another hour. Cut 3-5 slits in tops with the sharpest knife you have
beat together one egg white and 1 tbls water and brush tops
bake for 20-25 minutes at 375 then place on a wire cooling rack
