Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 2/3 cup baking soda
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic flakes
- 1 teaspoon onion flakes
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add to the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cloth, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
