    List of Ingredients




    1/2 C. lukewarm water
    2 T. olive oil
    5 T. lukewarm milk
    1 envelope active dry yeast
    2 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 egg
    2 T. milk
    2 T. sesame seeds

    Recipe



    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 400ºF. Bake the loaf for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350ºF 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
