This is a delicious bread, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
Pay attention to rolling the dough, roll tightly not to let any air bubbles
in. Put a pan of hot water on the bottom of the oven.
You roll out a big oval and cut it in half and make two breads…

Recipe: this makes two breads.
1 cup water
2 1/2 cups flour
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Teaspoons of yeast

put in food processor, mix on pulse for one minute, add additional
flour or water if needed, put in oiled bowl, raise until doubled, then
roll out on floured board 12 x 18” cut in half and roll (not loosely) and
make cuts along bread then let raise again until double...
gently coat bread with one egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water and sprinkle
with toasted sesame seeds.
Chefs Note: I make my own sesame mix with Mostly toasted sesame seeds,
poppy seeds, onion flakes, and a little bit of garlic powder.

Don’t forget to put a big pan of Hot water on the bottom of the oven...
Bake 375* 20 to 25 minutes until
golden brown 🙂
Pics to follow.

This is from the first time I made it.

This is recently, I forgot to make the slits in the bread after I rolled it.
non the less it was still delicious.👍

Well tell folks the name of the commercial sesame seed mix. I found it at a local grocery at a very good price, it just jumped into my basket. Another project.

‘Everything but the bagel spice’ …it sells for 99 cents here.
but, like I said, I make my own cause the everything but the bagel
has too much garlic flavor…
You know, you can stretch out your store bought one - by adding more
sesame seeds and poppy seeds. That will also help tone down the
strong garlic flavor.

The store bought mix doesn't seem to have a lot of garlic at least I don't taste it and I've been eating it out of hand. I got this under $10 for 22 oz container.

Remember these rolls from the DIY cooking forum? I let them raise for about 45 minutes on the second rise, then I brushed them with melted butter and sprinkled everything but the bagel on them before putting them in the oven to bake.😋

Yes I remember. That Badia stuff I got has large flakes of dried onion in it. If that is your homemade seasoning than I guess you don't have onion or garlic in it.

I am currently reading recipes for Japanese milk bread…I’m going to give that a whirl soon.

This one looks good with good explanations, I read several recipes...

one recipe said to coat the buns with egg wash mixed with a little milk and honey and that will give you a shiny glaze…I plan on making it into rolls and baked in my cast iron skillet…also will make the dough in my food processor…

Interesting. Milk is one of the things that helps give a soft crumb. Have you discovered what dough enhancer (conditioner or improver) is and where to buy it or how to make it?

Bookmarked the post and saved the recipe to my favorites.

I‘m pretty sure that you can buy it on Amazon..
This bread makes its own enhancer with flour, water and milk. Thank

 

[Wooleybooger]

Yes and there are other things including powdered ginger of all things apparently. I've used vital gluten but noticed no difference and I've got liquid lecithin coming next week. Liquid because I want to use it in my fermented hot sauce. Use powdered lecithin for baking.
