   then whisk in 1 egg, 2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and once that's combined start adding flour 1 cup at a time, stirring w/a wooden spoon to combine until it forms a sticky dough. you can also add raisins or chocolate chips if you want at this point. then you can flour your hands and start adding more flour until it forms a dough that can be kneaded. knead for about 5 minutes and then put it in a greased bowl (I cover it with an oiled paper towel) and let rise for an hour. then take it out, punch it down and knead again for a few minutes then shape it into loaves and glaze it with egg wash.
