Sesame Bread
This is a somewhat unusual bread, with tahini in it to add a tang. Decorate it with sesame seeds too, if you like. It has a sweet and slightly bitter taste and it’s great with salad.
Ingredients:
5 cups strong white bread flour (about 500 g)
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey or sugar or maple syrup
4 tbsp oil (I used rapeseed but I think toasted sesame oil would be good too)
1-2 tbsp tahini (depending on how strong you want the sesame taste)
1 cup warm water (about 225 ml)
sesame seeds, optional
Instructions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add in the honey, oil, tahini, and water. Add the sesame seeds if you want or sprinkle them on top. Mix with a bread hook in a stand mixer or else knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes.
2. Leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
3. Knead again and prove a second time. Sprinkle with sesame seeds now, if you prefer.
4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 200 C.
