Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes in a warm place until the yeast becomes foamy.<br>Mix the dough: Add vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Sift the flour through a sieve and gradually add it to the wet ingredients, along with salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Knead the dough:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn the dough onto a lightly oiled surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.<br>First rise: Place the dough in a bowl greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.<br>Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and roll it into a large ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover the balls loosely and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boil the dough:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently lower each dough ball into the boiling water and cook for 30-40 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bake the bread:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush the tops of the dough balls with water or milk and sprinkle with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds (or just white sesame seeds). Bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.<br>Cool and enjoy! Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips and Tricks:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sifting Flour: If you don\u2019t have a sieve, whisk the flour before adding it to the dough to incorporate air and ensure a lighter texture.<br>Rising Environment: To create a warm environment for the dough to rise, you can preheat your oven to the lowest setting, turn it off, and place the dough inside with the oven door slightly open.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boiling the Dough:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boiling the dough gives the bread a chewy texture similar to bagels. Be gentle when lowering the dough balls into the water to maintain their shape.<br>Sesame Seeds: Mix white and black sesame seeds for an attractive presentation. Alternatively, you can use poppy seeds or sunflower seeds for variety.<br>Checking Doneness: Adjust the baking time slightly depending on your oven. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storing Bread:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain freshness.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: 400 ml warm water (around 105\u00b0F)1 tablespoon sugar8 g dry yeast30 ml vegetable oil700 g wheat flour1 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon white sesame seeds1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional) Instructions: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4130,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4127\/revisions\/4130"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
