Sesame loaf
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. One of the important points in making the loaf is combining the yeast mixture with the flour mixture. If this is difficult to do by hand, use a bread maker or a mixer with a dough hook attachment. The amount of sesame seeds can be increased or decreased to taste. Otherwise, the recipe is simple and accessible. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
