Steps

  • Mix flours, salt, yeast, honey, and 350ml warm water in a bowl until combined.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until it springs back when prodded.
  • Roll the dough into a 40x24cm rectangle, resting for 5 minutes if too springy.
  • Brush the dough with sesame oil, sprinkle with poppy seeds, and cut into six 4cm strips.
  • Twist each strip individually, then bundle and twist them together into one thick rope.
  • Shape the rope into a wreath, seal the ends with water, and scatter remaining seeds over the join.
  • Place on a baking sheet and cover with oiled cling film.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and prove the dough in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the loaf for 35 minutes until golden.
  • Verify it is cooked by tapping the bottom to hear a hollow sound.
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm.
