A few weeks ago I came across these black sesame seed. They have an incredible charcoal color and a slight stronger flavor then the regular sesame seed you see in the local grocers. I also found out that black sesame appears frequently in Chinese, Japanese and Korean dishes where meat or fish is rolled in the seeds before cooking for a crunchy coating.

So, I thought they would be wonderful to use in a bread. I decided to make a milk bread with black sesame seeds inside and on the outside. Milk bread is a tasty white bread all on it’s own. I used both pastry flour and bread flour in this recipe. The texture is soft, but with the color of the black sesame seeds rubs off into the bread and actually gives the bread a whole wheat look inside.

Of coarse you have to love sesame seeds to enjoy this bread and you could use less if you wanted to or just use the white sesames seeds if that’s all you have.  The look is stunning a real eye catcher. I hope you get a chance to give it a try.

   Great photography as usual! And yum….I have recently purchased black sesame seeds but have not known what to use them for…just thought they were wonderful and threw them in here and there on a few salads! Terrific recipe and one to try for sure! Hey, with the great weather finally arriving….I am wondering…is there such a thing as a bread that one can barbecue? Just a thot. Okay…happy week!

    Looks really good. Love black seseame seeds. There is a problem- the recipe doesn’t say how much yeast to use?

    Yup, back when I was in Toronto, we used to buy black sesame sandwich bread all the time! Your loaf looks great.

    The sesame seeds give your bread a striking look. We use these in our cooking quite a bit too. They’re definitely more flavoursome that the white sesame seeds.

    The black sesame seeds give the bread a great look. I know them just from turkish flatbreads but I am sure that they give the milkbread a nice flavor, too.

    Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve always some black sesame seeds in the pantry but haven’t thought to put them on bread like this. I’ll give it a go.
