Dissolve yeast+sugar+1/3 or 1/2 cup of the water ,cover and leave for 5 minutes or until frothy.

Put the flour mixture in the mixer bowl (or mix it by hand), make a hole in the center ,and add the yeast mixture and the rest of the water, knead dough until smooth and elastic, 5- 10 minutes. (you can add more water/flour as needed)

Place dough in a large oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours - until well risen and doubled in size.

Knead the dough again,form a round ball.

Slice an small onion to thin slices.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and the onion cuts on a big surface, roll the loaf in it..

Let the bread rise again , for an hour or more (until doubled in size)on the baking dish [yes, yes.. that big dish..].

Meanwhile , preheat the oven to 250C. When well risen- Bake the bread for 20 minute in the hot oven.

Reduce the heat to 170C and bake for more 20-25 minutes .

Cool on a wire rack . I hope you'll Love this Bread as we do !!
