Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed: water, olive oil, sugar, salt, bread flour, and active dry yeast.
Make sure the yeast does not touch the salt or liquid to ensure proper activation. Create a small well in the flour and place the yeast inside.
Select the 'French Bread' setting on your bread machine and choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
When the machine beeps during the kneading cycle (typically about 5-10 minutes in, depending on your bread machine), add the sesame seeds.
Let the bread machine complete the kneading, rising, and baking processes. This usually takes about 3.5 hours, depending on your machine's settings.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove it from the bread machine pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
