Print Recipe Rate Recipe

Equipment

  • smoker (I'll be using a pellet Grill for this cook)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water room temperature
  • 1 tbsp dry yeast active
  • 2 tbsp real maple syrup Feel free to use regular sugar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Mix the water, maple syrup, and yeast. Whisk well.
  • Let rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the flour, oil, and salt then start to turn the dough by hands in the same bowl. Feel free to use a mixer.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and allow it to rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough again onto a lightly floured surface or in your mixer. Add more flour if needed, the dough has to be soft and smooth to the touch.
  • Cover again with a damp cloth and allow it to rise at room temperature for one hour or until it has doubled in size.
  • Divide the dough into three equal pieces.
  • Roll each of the three pieces of dough with your hands, making three ropes of about 12-15 inches.
  • Line the three strips side-by-side and pinch the top ends together.
  • Braid the dough strips together and pinch the bottom ends.
  • Cover and let rise in at room temperature for 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
  • In the meantime, preheat the smoker/grill to 350°F.
  • Brush your bread with egg yolk and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
  • Bake the loaf at 350 F for 30 to 40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
  • Let it cool down and enjoy!
