Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Skim milk
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 unit Egg white
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and active dry yeast. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the yeast.
Step 2: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add honey, warm water, and skim milk. Stir until the mixture is well combined and lukewarm.
Step 3: Pour the lukewarm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Step 4: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5: Lightly oil a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to remove excess air. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 8: Brush the top of the loaf with a little beaten egg white, and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds over the top.
Step 9: Cover the loaf again with a towel and leave it to rise for an additional 20 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.
Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 11: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
