Ingredients
- 1 cup water 110°F, warm
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
- 1 egg beaten
- sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Add warm water, sugar, and yeast to a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt.
- Add unsalted butter and the activated yeast mixture to the flour. Mix using a dough hook on a stand mixer or knead by hand until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a 10-inch round disc. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. You can also give the loaf a light tap on the top – if it sounds hollow, it's done.
