Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Additional water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water and then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir initially with a spoon and then continue by kneading with your hands until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if required to prevent sticking.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a loaf or your preferred bread shape and place it on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and the tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the top of the loaf.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the top of the bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your homemade low fat sesame bread plain, or with your favorite toppings!
