Bread Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, salt, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Bread

    Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheese and sesame seeds on top of the loaf.

  7. 7

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm.
