Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 270 g (2 ¼ cups) bread flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp rapid rise dried yeast (1 x 7g packet)
  • 240 ml (1 cup) plant milk, lukewarm (pea protein milk recommended)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For Baking and Topping

  • 1 tbsp semolina (for dusting baking tray)
  • 2 tbsp oat or soy cream
  • 1 tbsp white and black sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Measure the bread flour into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, salt, and rapid rise dried yeast evenly.
  2. Add Milk: Pour the lukewarm plant milk into the dry ingredients and combine using a dough hook or a sturdy wooden spoon until the mixture starts forming a dough.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Stir in the olive oil and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean linen towel and place it in a warm spot to let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and tip the risen dough onto it. Sprinkle the dough with additional flour to handle the stickiness and gently shape it into a circular loaf using your hands.
  6. Prepare Baking Tray: Dust a lined baking tray with semolina to prevent sticking, then place the shaped dough on it. Use your fingertips to create a smaller inner ring along the edge of the dough circle.
  7. Score the Dough: Using your fingers, create a cross on the inner circle, then add diagonal lines to divide the dough into 8 sections, resembling sliced pizza slices.
  8. Second Rise: Cover the dough loosely with cling film and allow it to rise again for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 220° C (430° F).
  9. Decorate and Score: Press gently along the pattern lines to deepen the dents. Brush the entire surface with oat or soy cream and sprinkle evenly with white and black sesame seeds.
  10. Bake: Place the tray in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before tearing into slices. Serve warm with your favorite dips or as a side to meals.

Notes

  • Use lukewarm plant milk to activate the yeast effectively but avoid overheating, which can kill the yeast.
  • The dough is sticky; dusting with flour will help manage it during shaping.
  • Semolina on the baking tray adds a nice crunchy texture to the bread base.
  • Oat or soy cream provides a vegan-friendly glaze that helps sesame seeds stick and promotes browning.
  • For best results, serve the bread fresh and slightly warm.
  • You can substitute the plant milk with any other non-dairy milk if preferred.
