• 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 unit Egg white

Directions

Step 1

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

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

Step 4

Step 4: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Step 6

Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Step 8

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

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
