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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and half of the sesame seeds to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your homemade sesame bread!
