Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dukkah spice blend
  • 2 tbsp water for brushing

Method
 

  1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and activated.
  2. Mix in flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Turn dough out onto a work surface, shape into a round boule, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush the entire surface of the loaf with water and remaining olive oil, then press dukkah generously all over the top and sides of the bread.
  6. Let rise for 30-40 minutes, then slash the top with a sharp knife and bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes until the crust is deep golden and crispy.
