Pasta/Pizza - Homemade sesame bread by Astrid O. - Recipia

Homemade sesame bread should have a soft but non-sticky dough, made with eggs and milk. The tops turn golden while the centers stay fluffy; the French call this bread pain brioche and eat it in the morning with milk. I prefer it cut into thick slices, with butter and jam. Preparation: 25 minutes. Cooking: 25 minutes. Resting: 70 minutes. Total time: 120 minutes. Servings: 12. Approximately 310 kcal and 10 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dry yeast
360 ml lukewarm milk
2 eggs
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
800 g flour
1 egg
15 g sesame seeds

Preparation

1. Dissolve the dry yeast in 120 ml of lukewarm milk and leave it for 10 minutes, until it starts to foam. 2. Beat the 2 eggs with the sugar and salt. Pour in the remaining 240 ml of milk and the activated yeast, then mix. 3. Gradually work in the flour and knead for 10 minutes, until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. 4. Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for at least 60 minutes. 5. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 6. Beat the egg for brushing, brush each ball and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. 7. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes, until the rolls are golden on top.

Notes

Keep the rolls in a sealed bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. I plan to knead the dough about two hours before the meal, because an hour of rising is the minimum. Flour can absorb milk differently; stop when the dough is soft and no longer sticks to your hands. Make the balls a similar size so they bake at the same time; the larger ones may need a few extra minutes. The milk should be lukewarm, not hot, when you pour it over the yeast. You can also serve them plain, with a glass of milk. You can leave out the sesame; the bread contains gluten, milk and eggs.
