Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 60 grams sesame seeds
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 15 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil and half of the sesame seeds to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should spring back when touched.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf by rolling it up tightly. Place the loaf onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of the loaf with a little water and sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds evenly over the top, pressing them gently into the dough.
Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread has a golden-brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your homemade sesame bread!
