Armenian Bread
This recipe comes to me from my mother who first made it in 1972.

- 2¼ t yeast active dry
- 5 t sugar
- 1 t salt

T- 3:30
Add 1½c flour and the yeast, sugar, and salt to the Cuisinart with the milk, water, and oil. Blend at 120-125D. Keep adding the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Turn the dough out and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover with a towel or invert the bowl over the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Optionally, toast the sesame seeds in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes until golden brown. Brush the bread with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
