  • Preparation: 150 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (72.2 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten, sesame

Ingredients

  • 42 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 10 g Milk, whole
  • 15 g Water
  • 0.3 g Yeast, active dry
  • 0.6 g Salt
  • 1 g Sugar
  • 2 g Vegetable oil
  • 1 g Sesame seeds
  • 0.3 g Cumin

Method

  1. Makes 1 wedge of a large, dense round loaf that serves about 8; multiply everything by 8 to bake a whole loaf.
  2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and water, mix into the flour with the salt and oil, and knead into a stiff, smooth dough.
  3. Cover and let rise slowly, about 2-2.5 hours, for a denser crumb than a plain flatbread.
  4. Shape into a thick round loaf with a raised rim, and stamp a pattern deeply into the center so it stays flat while the rim puffs.
  5. Scatter the center with the sesame seeds and cumin (a stand-in for nigella seeds), and rest 20 minutes.
  6. Bake at 230 °C (450 °F) for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden; this loaf keeps soft for days longer than a thinner bread.
