Greek Sesame Bread Recipe
Greek Sesame Bread
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons lukewarm milk
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Combine the water, oil, milk, and yeast in a mixing bowl and stir to dissolve the yeast
Add 1 cup of the flour and the salt and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes
Add the remaining flour and beat to form a stiff dough
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic
Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a dish towel, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume
Punch the dough down and form into a round loaf on a lightly-floured baking sheet
Beat the egg with the milk and brush the dough with the mixture
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and cut a deep cross in the top of the loaf with a very sharp knife or razor blade
Cover and allow to rise until double in volume
Place a cake pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
Bake the loaf for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 15 minutes, until golden brown
Test for doneness by thumping the bottom of the loaf – it should produce a hollow sound
Cool on a rack
Makes 1 loaf
