Whole Wheat Sesame & Poppy Seed Bread


3½ cups whole wheat flour
1 packet active dry yeast
2 Tbsp warm water
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup honey
¼ cup non-fat dried milk
1½ cup warm water
1¼ tsp salt
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp olive oil

Dissolve the yeast in two tablespoons of warm water. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the poppy and sesame seeds and mix until the dough starts to leave the side of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased surface. Oil your hands and knead it for 6-8 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, twirling to grease all sides of the dough. Cover with clean dish cloth and allow rising in warm place until doubled in bulk (about 60 minutes).

Transfer dough to lightly oiled work surface and shape into 8-inch roll. Place in greased 8½”x4½” bread pan and cover loosely with greased plastic wrap. Allow the bread to rise for 30-60 minutes or until it’s crowned about an inch above the edge of the bread pan. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Bake in preheated 350ยบ oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from bread pan immediately and cool on wire rack. Pictured above with sirloin steak and tossed salad.
