Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml warm water
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 15 grams granulated sugar
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams salt
- 60 ml olive oil
- 60 grams sesame seeds
- 30 ml milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour well. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Gradually work in half of the sesame seeds during the kneading process, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has doubled, punch it down gently and turn it out onto a floured surface.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30-40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, brush the top with the milk or plant-based milk.
Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
