I must ask about the sesame seeds.
Are they sprinkled on the top, or are they just inside the bread itself?
I always grind up and add some flax seed and hulled-millet seed to my dough, but I keep eyeing my unused jar of sesame seeds.

But it's an old-fashioned bygone-era, love-hobby thing.
I hear the average American watches more than 5 hours of TV daily so I don't feel to bad about the time it takes to bake bread.

Now that I've been doing it about a year I figure I have it down to maybe 25 minutes of hands-on time of the total time of 4 hours.
The rest of the time is waiting for the mixer to knead the dough, the bread to rise, and the bread to bake and cool.
Because of all the waiting I only bake bread when I have other things to do around the house.
There are very good reasons almost nobody bakes bread today.
There are also very good reasons that a few of us do. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP.

I now prefer sandwich sized rolls because loaves start to dry out after you slice a piece off. This would be fine if you were serving several people and eating the whole loaf at one meal. But if not, every piece you subsequently cut is from the exposed end had time to dry out.
