Mix the yeast, warm water, and sugar in a large bowl.  Proof.  Mix the salt and flour and add slowly to the yeast mixture until you have a stiff dough.  Place the ball of dough on a lightly floured flat surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.  Place the dough in a large bowl coated with a non-stick spray; cover, and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size (about 2 hours).  Punch down the dough and form 2 elongated loaves.  Sprinkle the cornmeal on top of a baking brick or baking pan, and place the loaves side by side (spread as far apart as possible).  With a sharp knife, cut 2 or 3 diagonal slashes on top of each loaf.   Mix the egg with the water, and brush each generously over the loaves.  Bake in an UN-preheated oven at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
