Gradually add remaining ½ cup flour; mix well. Turn dough onto lightly floured board; cover with bowl. Let rest 10 minutes. Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 15 minutes). Place dough in greased bowl; turn once. Cover and let rise in warm place 1 hour. Punch dough down; cover and let rise in warm place 45 minutes. Punch dough down; divide into 3 equal parts. Shape each into a ball and place on greased cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour). Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In cup, combine egg and water; brush tops of loaves with egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon caraway seed. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cuol on wire racks. Makes 3 loaves.
