Adapted from King Arthur Flour

Ingredients
 190 g water (lukewarm)
 7 g dry yeast
 260 g flour
 5 g salt
Glaze
 1 tbsp flour
 sugar
 0.25 tsp oil
 30 ml water
Toppings
 sesame seeds, seasoning salt, nigella seeds, etc.
Directions
1

Mix the water, yeast, flour, and salt until well combined and knead using your hands or a stand mixer until the dough becomes fairly soft and nearly does not stick to the bottom of a bowl.

2

Put the dough in a greased bowl and let sit covered with a towel until it doubles in size, about 60-90 minutes.

3

Deflate dough and form into a long 9"/ 23cm log and cover again, allowing to rise for at least 30 minutes.

4

Make the glaze by heating all the ingredients in a saucepan or in a small bowl in the microwave in 10 seconds intervals until it thickens.

5

Preheat oven to 230°C. Flatten the dough into a rectangle or oval shape (about 35x12cm) and then with a pastry brush or your fingers coat the top of the dough with the glaze. Use your finger to carve in lines along the long way then sprinkle toppings on top of the dough. Place bread in the oven on a low rack and bake for 15-18 minutes.
