*Ingredients
° 500 g of flour
° ½ tsp of salt
° 1 sachet of baker’s yeast (I take dry active yeast = 2-tsp)
° 150ml lukewarm water
° 150 ml lukewarm milk
° 2 tbsp of olive oil
+To brown:
° 1 egg yolk

*Instructions
Mix water and milk.
In a small bowl, dilute the yeast in lukewarm water, add a little sugar. cover with cling film and let foam (10 to 15 min).
In a large bowl add the flour and salt, mix.
Make a well, add the sourdough, the olive oil, and the water/milk mixture. Knead for 5 minutes. The dough is slightly sticky.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and a tea towel.
Let the pat double in volume until it doubles in volume.
Flour your hand and gently degas the dough by folding the edges towards the center. Form a ball.
Gently place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Flatten the ball with the palm of your hand to give it a round shape and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
In a bowl mix the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk.
Wet fingertips with water and shape if desired as pictured.
Brush the surface of the bread with a pastry brush.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 C (370 F) or until you get a nice golden color.
