    Greek Sesame Bread

    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

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