1 pkg. dry yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/8 c. warm water (105-115 degrees)
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sesame seeds

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/8 cup warm water. Sift flour and salt together. Mix flour with 1 cup warm water - add yeast to the flour mixture and knead well; the dough should be smooth and firm. If necessary, add a little water or flour to get proper consistency. Cover dough and let rise until double - 2 to 3 hours.

Divide dough into 8 or 10 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, pat down, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and roll to about 1/4 inch thick. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, four to a sheet, and let stand, covered with a towel, for 1 hour. Bake in 500 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Bread will puff up while baking and collapse when cool. Great to serve warm with soup.
