Health and fertility benefits of Sesame French Bread Recipe

Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production.

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2-1/2 cups water (110 ° to 115 °)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, oil, salt and 4 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Roll up from a long side; seal well. Place with seam side down on greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
Beat egg white and water; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray; let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
With a very sharp knife, make four shallow diagonal cuts across top. Bake at 400 ° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
