Ingredients:
900g whole-wheat bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caster sugar
1 packet active, dried, yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
600ml (about) warm water
1 egg, beaten, to glaze
lard, for greasing sesame seeds (optional)
Method:
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a cup, mix the sugar, yeast and 100ml of the warm water. Cover and set aside for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothing.
Form a well in the flour and add the yeast mix and the oil. Stir to combine then add enough of the remaining warm water to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough thoroughly for at least 15 minutes then turn out onto a well-floured work surface and knead well for another 5 minutes.
Grease a bowl, form the dough into a ball then place in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Set aside to rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in volume.
Knock the dough back and turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough then shape and place in two loaf tins. Cover with a cloth and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 30 minutes).
Glaze the tops of both loaves with beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the loaves.
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden (when ready, the base of the loaf will sound hollow when rapped.
