Instructions: Combine the warm water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Dissolve the yeast in this mixture and let sit until foamy. Stir in the beaten eggs, oil, salt and lemon peel. Add I 112 cups of flour and blend well. Beat well for 2 minutes. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover and let rise until double. Punch down dough. Shape as desired to make either a pan or a free loaf. Place loaf in greased loaf pan or on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double. Brush loaf with egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
