Ingredients:

430 g wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
7 g dry yeast
0.5 teaspoon salt
220 ml warm water
20 ml olive oil
For Decoration:

Sesame seeds

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the yeast is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a sticky dough.

Pour in the olive oil and continue kneading the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Shape and Decorate:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf or any desired shape.
Sprinkle the top of the dough with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Quick Rise:
Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes. The warm water and yeast will start to work their magic, giving the dough a slight rise even in this short time.

Bake:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Slice and serve warm with your favorite spreads or simply enjoy it as is.
Cooking Tips:

Warm Water: Ensure the water is warm, not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast, affecting the rise of the bread.
Kneading: Kneading the dough for a few minutes helps develop the gluten, giving the bread a better texture.
Sesame Seeds: You can experiment with other toppings like poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, or even a sprinkle of coarse sea salt for a different flavor profile.
