Bake a vibrant Turmeric and Black Sesame Swirl Bread for a unique, antioxidant-rich, homemade bread experience. Perfect for wellness-focused baking!
Ingredients
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • honey: 1 tablespoon
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • bread flour: 1 1/2 cups
- • ground turmeric: 2 teaspoons
- • black sesame seeds: 3 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • egg (for egg wash): 1, beaten
Instructions
- 1 In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
- 3 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- 4 To one half of the dough, add the ground turmeric and knead until the color is evenly distributed. To the other half, incorporate the black sesame seeds.
- 5 Roll out each dough half into a rectangle of the same size. Place the turmeric dough on top of the sesame dough and roll them together into a log, pinching the ends to seal.
- 6 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- 7 Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg for a glossy finish. Bake for 35 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 8 Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory bread pairs wonderfully with a variety of spreads. Try it with a simple avocado mash, or for a punch of flavor, a roasted red pepper hummus. For an elevated brunch dish, serve it alongside poached eggs and a fresh arugula salad dressed lightly with olive oil and lemon juice. For a comforting meal, consider pairing slices of this bread with a steaming bowl of lentil soup. The earthy flavors of the soup complement the aromatic spices of the bread, creating a balanced and satisfying dining experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
