Scallion Sesame Bread

Twisted white bread with a savory filling of fragrant scallions and white sesame seeds in every bite. 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp vegetable oil

1 tsp salt

1 cup lukewarm water (about 105-110°F)

1 tsp instant yeast

1/2 cup chopped scallions or green onions

4 tbsps sesame seeds

Egg wash:

1 egg

1 tsp milk

In a large mixer bowl combine the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, salt, yeast and lukewarm water and mix well. Knead with dough hook 2-3 minutes. Oil a large bowl. Form the dough into a ball and oil it too then place in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

With floured hands punch down the dough. Flour the counter and roll out the dough to approximately 12 X 9". Very lightly brush with oil and sprinkle 2 tbsps sesame seeds, then carefully flip the dough over. 

A little oil again and sprinkle with the remaining seeds and the chopped scallions.

Oil and flour a 9 X 5" loaf pan. Roll the dough from the long end and pinch the edges to seal. Twist the roll 2 or 3 times and tuck the ends under to fit in the pan. Let it rest in the pan for 20 minutes before brushing with egg wash.

Bake at 350°F for 30-34 minutes.

Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing into your beautiful, scallion spiraled bread!
