- In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over hot water and let stand 5 min to soften. Stir in salad oil, beer, salt and fennel seeds. With a heavy-duty mixer or possibly wooden spoon, beat in 3 1/2 c. flour till dough is elastic (about 5 min).
- On a board or possibly pastry cloth, spread remaining 1 c. flour and turn out dough.
- Knead, using this technique: lift edge of dough, coated well with flour, and fold toward center, avoiding contact with sticky part of dough.
- Continue folding toward center and kneading, turning dough as you work, till it is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl; turn dough to grease top. Cover and let rise in a hot place till doubled (1 to 1 1/4 hrs).
- On a floured surface, knead just to expel air. Healthy pinch off lumps (1 1/2" in diameter) and roll each into a strip which is 18" long. Cut each strip in half.
- Set wire racks on baking sheets and arrange strips across racks, 1/2" apart. Brush strips with egg-water mix. Bake at 325 F. for about 35 min or possibly till proportionately browned. Serve warm, or possibly cold on wire racks.
