Black Sesame Bread
- 300 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 45 grams Ground black sesame seeds
- 30 grams Sugar
- 30 grams Margarine
- 30 grams Skim milk powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 1 tsp Dried yeast
- 210 ml Liquid
- If you don't have skim milk powder, coffee creamer is fine.
- But I'm not sure which is more expensive?
- If you have this on hand though, it's fine to use instead of skim milk powder in this bread recipe.
- Measure out the ingredients.
- The skim milk powder tends to form lumps, so mix it up with a spoon or something before you start kneading the dough.
- When the dough has been kneaded about 80% of the way, mix the ground sesame seeds in.
- Once the sesame seeds are evenly distributed into the dough, it's done.
- Put on a warm place to rise, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- When it's doubled or so in volume, punch it down and divide into 3 portions.
- It's best to weigh the the dough as you divide it.
- Leave the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
- I use the U-shaped dough method.
- This is to taste, so if you aren't fond of firm crusts you could use the oval or round shaped dough method.
- To follow my preferred method, roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle, and then roll each piece up to form 3 sausage shapes.
- Put each dough sausage into a bread mold in a alternate facing U shapes, as shown in the photo.
- Level out the surface and push the dough into the corners.
- Leave to rise again (2nd rising).
- The dough will puff up to fill the bread mold.
- When it's risen enough to up to fill the mold about 80 to 90% of the way, start baking it.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 200C.
- When it's done baking, tap on the mold to expel some steam, then take the bread out of the mold.
- I forgot to turn the mold on its side halfway through the baking time so the sides aren't brown.
- It's better to turn it on its side about 15-20 minutes in, to brown the sides of the bread.
- Whichever part of this bread you slice, it'll be packed with sesame, sesame, sesame.
- Sooo good.
