Oven temp 400°F
Cook time 20-30 min
Yield 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- ~3 cups flour
- 1-1/2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 packet Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg white
- sesame seeds, to taste
Instructions
- Combine water, milk, and butter in a stovetop-safe measuring cup. Warm on low until it reaches 120-130 degrees.
- While butter mixture warms, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon.
- Use a wooden spoon to carve out a well in the flour; slowly pour the butter mixture into the well while cutting ingredients together.
- Continue cutting mixture with additional flour until the dough is no longer sticky and wet.
- Dust the countertop with flour and knead the dough using your hands for 4-5 minutes.
- Cover kneaded dough with tea towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Grease a glass loaf pan with butter and dust lightly with flour; shake out excess flour on countertop to use in next step.
- Remove towel from dough and flip dough over onto the dusted countertop.
- With a rolling pin, roll dough into a 12x7 inch rectangle.
- Use your hands to gently roll up the dough, from the short side, into a tubular shape. Tuck and pinch the ends of the roll under the dough.
- Place into prepped loaf pan. Cover with tea towel, place in a warm location, and let rest for 45 minutes.
- After the loaf has rested for 35 minutes, turn on oven to 400F while loaf rests for the final 10 minutes.
- Separate egg white and discard yolk. Brush gently onto top of loaf and sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds.
- Place loaf in preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, removing when golden.
- Let loaf rest for 15 minutes then use a thin knife to score around the loaf and remove from pan.
- Let loaf cool before cutting.
