Ingredients

2 1/4 tsp (2 1/4 tsp) Instant dry yeast
310 ml (1.31 cups) Water warm (110F)
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) Honey or sugar
400 grams (3.33 cups) Whole wheat flour
100 grams (0.8 cups) AP Flour maida
5 tbsp (5 tbsp ) Butter soft
1 tbsp (1 tbsp) Salt
1/2 cup (1/2 cup) AP Flour for kneading

Egg wash

1/2 (1/2 ) Egg
2 tbsp (2 tbsp) Water

Instructions

Proof the yeast

Combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl. Use a whisk to combine.
Tip – the water must be barely warm, close to room temperature. If it's hot, it will kill the yeast and your bread won't rise)
Set it aside for 5 minutes – until foamy.
Tip (if it does not become foamy either the water was too hod so the yeast died or the yeast as expired – either start over or buy new yeast)

Knead the dough

In a bowl combine both the flours and salt.
Make a hollow in the center and pour the yeast mixture in
Starting from the center out, bring the flour and yeast together.
Use no more than 1/4 cup extra flour if necessary. The dough must be soft and sticky
Continue to knead on a lightly floured surface – the dough will become less sticky as you continue to knead – Knead for 3 minutes
Then add the soft butter and knead for another 2 to 3 minutes. Now the dough will be soft, smooth and elastic with a slight stickiness.

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp kitchen cloth.
Leave to rise for one hour or until double in volume.
Tip- You can also let the dough rise in the fridge overnight. Next day remove and let come to room temperature first.

Form the loaf (7 x 4 loaf pan)

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Spread the dough into a rectangle (approximately to the length of the light pan)
Roll the dough from one end to the other -like a jelly roll. Pinch the seams at the end.
Place the rolled dough into the greased loaf pan seam side under

Proof the loaf

Cover with a pan with a clean damp kitchen cloth – let proof for 30 to 45 minutes or until almost double in volume.

Bake the bread

Preheat the oven at 200 C/ 390 F
Prepare eggwash – combine half egg with 2 tbsp water.
Brush the top of the bread with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds
Use a sharp knife and cut some slashed on the top of the bread (this will allow steam to ascape)
Place the loaf in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for about 20to 25 minutes or until the top is golden and the bottom sounds hollow.
