Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 5 grams Salt
- 15 grams Honey
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 15 grams Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
Dissolve the active dry yeast in 300 ml of warm water. Ensure the water is not too hot, around 40°C (104°F) is ideal.
Add the honey and salt to the yeast mixture, then stir until everything is well dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture.
Add the olive oil and 30 grams of sesame seeds to the bowl.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough is formed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and shape it into a loaf.
Place the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the remaining 20 grams of sesame seeds evenly over the top of the loaf and gently press them into the dough.
Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
