Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Semolina flour - 50 grams
• Warm water - 250 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, semolina flour, salt, cumin powder, and black pepper.
3. Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and gently press them into the dough.
8. Transfer the loaf onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
