In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, dry milk, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, yogurt and 2 tablespoons oil until very warm (120 to 130?F); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
Divide dough in half. Roll each to 15 ? 10-inch oval. Beginning at long end of each, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Taper ends by gently rolling back and forth.* Place, seam sides down, on large greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Brush dough with remaining oil. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving room for dough to rise. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
When ready to bake, remove from refrigerator. Uncover dough carefully. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. With sharp knife, make four or five diagonal slashes (1/4-inch deep) on top of each loaf. Brush with egg white mixture.
Bake at 400?F for 25 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet; cool on wire rack. ++++++++++++++++++++
