1Mix two tablespoons of yeast into one cup of warm water. Add in ⅓ cup of oil, two tablespoons of sugar, and one egg. Mix until well combined.
2Add in three cups of flour and one teaspoon of salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer to a clean work surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
3Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Roll the dough into a 9×12-inch rectangle, then tightly roll the rectangle into a cylinder, tucking in the sides as you roll. Place seam-side down in the prepared pan. Beat the remaining egg and brush over the top of the loaf.
4Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in the pan for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
5Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
6Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing for best results.

Bake until the center reaches 190°F for the best texture.
If dough feels sticky, add an additional 1-2 Tbsp flour as needed.
If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
