Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110 F)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 package active dry yeast (about 1 tablespoon)

3 cups bread flour (approximately)

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Sesame seeds

Directions

In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine water and sugar.

Stir in yeast.

Let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine 3 cups

flour, salt and shortening.

Add yeast mixture.

Process until dough forms a ball, about 5 seconds.

Stop machine; check consistency of dough.

It should be smooth and satiny. If dough is too dry, add more

warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing just until blended. If

dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time,

processing just until blended.

Process 20 seconds to knead.

Lightly oil a large bowl, swirling to coat bottom and sides.

Place

dough in oiled bowl; turn to coat all sides.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap.

Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk,

about 1 1/2 hours.

Lightly grease a baking sheet. When dough has doubled in bulk, punch down dough; turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Form dough into a round loaf about 10 inches in diameter; place on greased baking sheet.

Sprinkle top of loaf with sesame seeds; press seeds gently

into surface of loaf.

Cover very loosely with plastic wrap; let rise until almost doubled in bulk, 1 hour.

Place rack in center of oven.

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Remove plastic wrap.

Bake loaf in center of preheated oven 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to 375 F; bake 25 minutes.

The loaf is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.

Cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Makes 1 loaf.
