- Total Time: 1

Ingredients
- 3 cups Bread Flour
- 1 1/2 Tsps sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tsp yeast (1 package)
- 1 1/3 cups warm water
- 2 tbsps olive oil – divided
- 1/3 cup ground black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp toasted whole black sesame seeds
Instructions
Making the dough
- Toast black sesame seeds in pan or oven. Place into a blender or food process and pulse until it forms a flour. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees
- Place the water in a glass bowl and pop in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until bathwater warm. Add your yeast and sugar and allow the yeast to activate for 5 minutes. It should get foamy.
- Now add the 2 1/2 cups of bread flour (you can also use white flour), ground black sesame seeds, salt and olive oil. Combine until it comes together and add the remaining cup. It will be shaggy and sticky. Continue to add more flour as needed to make the dough easier to work with, but the more you add the dryer the dough will be.
- Turn the oven off. Place back into the bowl and cover with a towel. Place in the preheated oven with the door open. Allow it to rise until doubled in size, 20 mins or more.
Shaping the bread
- Lay out a piece of parchment paper and dust it with flour. Transfer the dough from the bowl to the paper and behind shaping it. You’ll want to stretch out each side and fold it over and work around until you have it in the shape of a ball. (Don’t worry you can’t mess this up).
- Flip it over to where the smooth side is up. Press additional sesame seeds into the bread. Cover with the towel and let it rise for roughly 20 minutes (or until the dutch oven is read in the next step.
Heating the dutch oven
- Place the dutch oven in the oven. Preheat your oven to 450F and let it come to temperature. Your bread will rise while your dutch oven heats up.
Baking the bread
- Using oven mitts, take the dutch oven out of your oven and place it on top of the stove. Lift the bread using the parchment paper and transfer it to the dutch oven. Score the bread to let steam escape while it bakes. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Cover with the lid and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. When it’s done the color will be pale. Place it back in the oven without the lid for another 2-5 minutes, or until is golden brown of to your liking. Be careful not to burn the garlic pieces on the bread.
- Remove from the oven and lift the bread out of the dutch oven using the parchment paper. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
