I loooove it :–)
This bread looks delicious. I plan to make it today. I am just wondering how much sesame seeds the recipe calls for? I didn’t see it listed but maybe I missed it? Thanks!
Hi Jessie!
Thanks for pointing out! Looks like I forgot to add sesame seeds in the recipe. I have added the amount of sesame seeds and in the preparation steps as well. Hope you like this bread. Let me know.
One more thing, make sure to taste the dough if possible before baking to check salt as it makes a difference!
Thanks Consuelo! Hope you like it! Let me know!
