Steps:
- Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients by hand, mixer, bread machine or food processor until you've made a smooth, elastic dough. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turn to coat, cover, and allow it to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 20-inch log, tapering the ends slightly. Place the logs on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Braid them loosely; pinch the ends together, and tuck them under.
- Brush some of the beaten egg white over the braid; reserving the remainder. Cover the braid and allow it to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until it's almost doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400° degrees. Brush the braid again with some of the remaining egg white and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake the braid for 20 to 25 minutes, until it's golden brown. (Tent it lightly with aluminum foil after 15 minutes, if it appears to be browning too quickly.).
- Remove the braid from the oven, and cool it on a wire rack.
BRAIDED SESAME SEED BREAD
This is the first bread I ever made when I was a kid. I consider it fail-proof, and it's very good. Preparation time doesn't include rising time.

SICILIAN SESAME SEED BREAD
Sesame Seed Bread made with semolina flour is very special. The doubled-milled durum wheat semolina flour used in this recipe is golden in color and delicious. Semolina flour is also used for pasta. The addition of sesame seeds on top is critical to enjoy this full flavor and wonderful homemade bread.

Steps:
- In a large glass measuring cup, dissolve the sugar and yeast in 2 cups of the warm water. Let stand, covered for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add 2 cups of flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough starts to form. Add 2 more cups of flour and let mix until a smooth ball of dough is formed. It too wet, add 1 -2 tablespoons more flour. Do not let the dough get to dry. It should be slightly sticky. Let knead for about 5-10 minutes in total.
- Place the dough in a large oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise until doubled about 2 hours. (I usually place in my oven with the light on).
- On a floured board, punch down the dough, divide it in half and shape two thick loaves or four baguettes.
- Transfer loaves a floured baker's couche or large cotton dish towel. Cover the loaves and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours until doubled again in size.
- Preheat the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Place a cast iron skillet on the bottom rack and let heat as well.
- When ready to bake, mix the egg and water to make a wash. Brush the egg wash over the loaves and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place the loaves on baking sheet or a french loaf baking pans.
- Put the baking pan on the middle rack.
- Add 10 ice cubes to the cast iron pan. This will create the steam for a great crust. Add 4-6 more cubes halfway through for more steam.
- Cook for 35 minutes until the bread is a nice golden brown.
- Let the bread cool before slicing.
SESAME SEED BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:
- Place the first four ingredients into your bread machine pan in the order they are listed above.
- Mix the flour with the seeds and pour into the pan, followed by the yeast.
- Set the programme to 'DOUGH'.
- When the cycle has finished, (my machine takes 90 minutes) transfer the dough to a floured surface, knead about 5 times then shape as you like (round, oval, loaf, etc.) Place the dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover it with a piece of oiled cling film/plastic wrap. Leave it to prove until it has almost doubled in size (about an hour).
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400°F
- Using the point of a sharp knife, cut 4-5 slashes in the loaf no more than 1/4 inch deep, making a simple design of your choice. (ex: / / / / or XXXX, etc.).
- Brush the dough gently with the milk then sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until it has turned golden brown. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and leave it to cool a little before slicing.
