With a subtle flavor of cumin, this bread is a spin on the traditional white bread recipe.
1. Preparation time includes the rising time (first & second).[br]2. Preheat the oven as soon as you have shaped the loaf. This gives the oven time to reach a uniform temperature by the time the loaf has risen for the second time. [br]3. I have used milk wash in this recipe. But you can also use egg white (mixed with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp water) to brush. Then top it with either Oats or Sesame Seeds.[br]4. I always fresh yeast and the dough has not failed to rise even though I do not proof it in this recipe. But if you are doubtful, you can definitely proof it.
