Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp water

Method
 

  1. Combine water, yeast, and honey in a large bowl; stand 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour, salt, and oil until shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead on floured surface 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic; place in greased bowl, cover, and rise 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Punch down; shape round or oval loaf on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush generously with egg wash; sprinkle sesame seeds over entire top, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Rise another 30 minutes; bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when bottom tapped.
