Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 10 grams Salt
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 large Egg
- 15 milliliters Water for egg wash
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
In another small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water (about 110°F/45°C) and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into it.
Add salt to the flour along the edges of the bowl.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and knead in the sesame seeds until they are well incorporated.
Shape the dough into an oval or loaf form and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the dough again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 15 milliliters of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the risen loaf with the egg wash mixture to give it a nice golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
