In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.

Step 2

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.

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).

Step 10

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and shape it into a loaf.

Step 11

Place the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Sprinkle the remaining 20 grams of sesame seeds evenly over the top of the loaf and gently press them into the dough.
