Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup(s) water (70-80 degrees)
2 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) salt
3 1/2 cup(s) bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) active dry yeast
1 tablespoon(s) cornmeal
1 whole(s) egg
1 tablespoon(s) water
2 teaspoon(s) sesame seeds toasted
Directions:
1. In bread machine pan, place the first five ingredients in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 T. of water or flour if needed). When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Roll each portion into a 10x8 inch rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Sprinkle a greased baking sheet with cornmeal; place loaves seam side down on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes. Whisk egg and water; brush over loaves. With a sharp knife, make four shallow slashes across the top of each loaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
