Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 20 grams Sugar
- 8 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Sesame oil
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 unit Egg or dairy-free egg wash (optional, for gloss)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Pour the yeast mixture and sesame oil into the well of the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl with sesame oil. Place the kneaded dough in the bowl, turning to coat it with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or cling film and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to remove the air. Turn it onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped dough into a lightly greased bread tin or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If using, brush the top with egg or dairy-free egg wash and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Let the dough rise again for about 20-30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
