Ingredients:
500 ml lukewarm water
14 grams yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 pint (approx. 190 ml) oil
750 grams flour
1 teaspoon salt
Sesame seeds (for topping)
Black sesame seeds (for topping)
Instructions:
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
Combine 500 ml of lukewarm water, 14 grams of yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine 750 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and 1/3 pint of oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4: First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Bread
Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round or oval loaf.
Step 6: Second Rise
Place the shaped loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Step 7: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8: Add Toppings
Brush the tops of the loaves with water or oil and sprinkle generously with sesame and black sesame seeds.
Step 9: Bake the Bread
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10: Cool the Bread
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
