Ingredients

1 pkg. dry yeast

1 tbsp. sugar

1 1/8 c. warm water (105-115 degrees)

3 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

1/4 c. sesame seeds

Method

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/8 cup warm water.

Sift flour and salt together.

Mix flour with 1 cup warm water - add yeast to the flour mixture and knead well; the dough should be smooth and firm.

If necessary, add a little water or flour to get proper consistency.

Cover dough and let rise until double - 2 to 3 hours.

Divide dough into 8 or 10 pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball, pat down, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and roll to about 1/4 inch thick.

Place on ungreased cookie sheets, four to a sheet, and let stand, covered with a towel, for 1 hour.

Bake in 500 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until top is lightly browned.

Bread will puff up while baking and collapse when cool.

Great to serve warm with soup.
