French Bread

I have been making this bread a lot lately, and it gets eaten up VERY quickly. It is really easy. It takes a while from start to finish, so it's good to do on a day when you are just around the house.
Put in bread machine:
1.25 cups warm water
1.25 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 and 1/3 cups flour
1.5 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
Run a dough cycle.
After dough cycle ends, roll it out into a rectangle (about 8 by 12 inches). Roll up the long end. Brush with olive oil. Let rise about an hour. Brush with egg white. Bake for 25 minutes at 400 or until you knock the bread and it sounds hollow.
